Hi there!
We are RIK ANIMATION, an animation studio and co-creators of "An alt girl for skoof." Today, our first independent project launches in an open playtest!

It’s been a long journey, and now we’d love to hear your thoughts on the gameplay, visuals, music, mechanics, and anything else that stands out to you.

Our project is a horror RPG with elements of visual novel and psychological thriller, combining a mix of styles and mechanics.

We’re continuing to work hard on the game — and your feedback means a lot to us!

WHAT’S IN THE PLAYTEST?


Hicha’s life simulator: Step into the shoes of a shut-in girl and live through her anxious days, destructive routine, and endless cycles of monotony.

Explore her emotional world through multiple unique visual styles.

Find the perfect life in the virtual world of VITA — your flawless new reality.

Enjoy the original soundtrack, composed especially for this game.

SUPPORT US


We've come a long way to reach this point and put a lot of heart into the game — but there's still much to be done before the full release.
Your playthroughs and feedback are incredibly valuable. You’ll support us a lot by sharing your impressions in the game’s Steam Community.

We’d also like to mention how important genre tags are to help the game find its audience. So after playing, we’d really appreciate it if you visit the store page and select the tags that best describe the experience.

And don’t forget to follow our community to stay up to date with all the news!

Stay in touch,
RIK ANIMATION team
