Achill Island, December 31st 1993. In the crumbling ruin of an old mansion, a young Irish woman named Kasio destroys her diary. It tells the story of her return home to Achill, her conflict with her family, the friendships she makes, and the challenges she faces. And somewhere within its pages is an explanation for the looming black hole that's about to destroy the Earth.
In the game, players enter the mind of Kasio, a young, rebellious and creative soul who is destroying her diary on New Year’s Eve. To discover her story and uncover her secrets, players must erase her words and her memories. In this vivid and honest depiction of the West of Ireland in the early 1990s, players explore Kasio’s world through her torn up memories, like moving into an abandoned mansion, hanging out with the band, going to a punk show, breaking into Kasio’s own house, destroying the universe, and finding out who Kasio can be.
