⚠️Caution!
Violence, horror, Mental/Physical Health, slurs, blood, mild gore
Mind Hole is a short psychological horror game entirely developed by a single person, Kazumi404.What started as a simple test while learning RPG Maker MV gradually grew into a personal, atmospheric project shaped by music, trauma, and surreal tension.
🌑 What is Mind Hole?
You play as Rui, a young woman living in complete isolation after traumatic events in her past.
Confined to her apartment, she spends her days in silence, until her nights begin to change.Her world has shrunk to a single room, quiet, familiar, and suffocating.But lately, her nights have changed.
Sleep becomes a battlefield.
Something refuses to let her rest… and it’s getting harder to ignore.Mind Hole mixes psychological horror, puzzles, and story-driven mystery, drawing inspiration from AntiHoney ’s music and the real phenomenon of sleep paralysis (金縛り / kanashibari).
👁️Characters Inspired Directly by AntiHoneyEvery character in Mind Hole is 100% inspired by the lyrics of a specific AntiHoney song.
Their personalities, motives, symbolism, and emotional “lore” come directly from the themes expressed in those original lyrics.Instead of creating characters first and searching for meaning later, Mind Hole does the opposite:
their entire existence is born from the music.
The songs are the foundation, and the game is the interpretation.This creates a surreal atmosphere where emotions, fears, and illusions feel like they came straight from a dream, or a nightmare.

The project is old, and I received written permission from AntiHoney herself before she passed away, allowing me to use her work as inspiration.
The game has no commercial intent regarding her music, it was created out of admiration and respect for what she made.In many ways, Mind Hole is a tribute to her art.
The songs are the foundation, and the game is my way of interpreting and honoring them.

🧩Gameplay & World
Mind Hole takes place entirely inside Rui’s apartment, turning one familiar space into a layered psychological maze.
Through small interactions, puzzles, and daily routines, you uncover pieces of Rui’s reality… or her mind.
Features
Characters whose lore is directly based on AntiHoney’s lyrics
Multiple endings, each revealing different interpretations
Puzzle elements woven into daily interactions
Voice acting for deeper immersion
Day progression system influencing events over time
Diagonal movement and mapping for smoother exploration
An intimate, atmospheric horror experience focused on emotion and symbolism
📜 Official Disclaimer
“Mind Hole” is a non-commercial, personal project created by Kazumi404 (aka shinurushi) as a tribute to the musical legacy of AntiHoney.
About the Soundtrack: All music used in this game is the original work of the late singer/songwriter AntiHoney. This project was developed out of deep admiration for her art, and I received personal permission from her to use her work as inspiration before her passing.
A Tribute to Her Voice: My main goal is to ensure that AntiHoney’s hauntingly beautiful music continues to be heard and that her legacy is never forgotten.
Supporting the Artist: This game is 100% free to play. While donations are enabled on this page, they are entirely optional and go directly toward supporting my work as an independent artist (development, art, and programming). No profit is being made from the distribution of AntiHoney’s music itself.
Visual Inspiration: The visual identity of our protagonist, Rui, is also a dual tribute, inspired by the aesthetics of both the musician AntiHoney and the talented artist Anti-Honey from DeviantArt. Her profile: https://www.deviantart.com/anti-honey

Process
This initial phase focuses on loose thumbnails to explore the space, object placement, and overall room logic.
The goal is to understand how the environment functions and where key elements are positioned before defining a final camera angle or composition.This step helps establish spatial clarity and supports more informed decisions in later development stages.

Sketches
This sketch process was created with both the base environment and its horror variation in mind from the start.The room layout is first designed in a clean and readable way, focusing on composition, object placement, and player navigation. At the same time, key props and storytelling elements are already planned to support the atmosphere.The horror version is developed directly on top of this base, transforming the same space through lighting, damage, and visual cues rather than changing the structure itself.

Rotten Egg
⚠️Caution!
Violence, horror, Mental/Physical Health, slurs, blood, mild gore
This is Rotten Egg. I am a Rotten egg…
A small, fragmented story about Anah, a duck, her reflections, and the things that shouldn’t exist… but do anyway.

Everything here is presented as moments from this rotten egg life before it crack and after…
Not a timeline. Not a full narrative.Just… pieces.Pieces of memories…Real memories…?Conversations that happened.
Things that were seen.
Things that maybe weren’t.Cute, absurd, unsettling, and quietly rotting from the inside
🐥 THE STORY
At the center of everything is Anah.A duck girl who talks to things no one else can see and insists everything is normal.Smiles a little too easily.She is always alone… But… She is never alone.Even when she should be.
🧩 FRAGMENTS
These are short scenes, interactions, and episodes.
They don’t always connect directly.Memories aren’t linear.
And neither is this.
🌫️Mirrorland
A world behind the glass.Not identical. Opposite.Violent where this one is passive.
Alive where this one is empty.
👥CHARACTERS

🐥Anah - The rotten egg
Just a normal duck girl. She plays games. She talks to her friends. She smiles a lot. The only strange thing is…no one else can see who she’s talking to. She insists everything is fine.
Everything is really fine?
👤 Kelvin - The “imaginary friend.”
Invisible to the most. He protect. He moves. He gets angry.
No one else sees him in theory… That doesn’t mean he isn’t real.

🪞 Hana - A mirror entity.
Not Anah but looks exactly like her.
Speaks casually about murder. May or may not be planning something…
“Mirror entities try to kill the real ones to steal their lives.”
✨ Whoomp - The light
Not human. Not a shadow. Just a perfect silhouette. He comes when the weight gets too much and he already knows what will happen. No one else sees it.
It doesn’t explain. It doesn’t stay. But when it’s there… things feel less lost. She pretends it's just the light… but it never shines for anyone else.📺 The Mother - “Everything is normal here”
Tired. Angry. Always busy.
She refuses to acknowledge anything unusual around Anah.
The less she understands, the louder she gets.
Maybe denial is the only thing keeping her sane.🦢 Nana - “The fake twin”
Looks like a swan. Acts like a duck.
Everything Anah does, Nana repeats.
Same words. Same reactions. Same ideas.
Because she talks more, people think it was always hers.
She says they are identical. Says they are twins.
Anah never argues. She just thinks Nana has a horrible life…and that it’s okay to lose a few things for her...
🦢 Pom - The real “twin”
They look similar enough to confuse people sometimes.
Pom feels more grounded than Anah.
More normal. At least on the surface.
Being close to Anah means growing up around strange things until they stop feeling strange.
Twins don’t need to be from the same mom
🦁 Lou - “The strong one”
A big black lion. Quiet. Loud. Sweet. Bitter.
People get scared of her before she even speaks.
People watch her differently from everyone else.
Lou pretends not to notice. But she notices everything…
💔 Ray - “The safe place”
The first person that made Anah stop thinking about hurting people.
Punk brute pretty cat. But soft and warm to Anah in a way that hurts.
Ray doesn’t understand everything Anah says… but listens anyway.
When Ray exists nearby, the world feels survivable.
🐤 Juna - “The rich girl”
A tiny yellow canary with expensive clothes and perfect manners.
Cute voice. Cute smile. Cute everything.
She lives in a completely different world from Anah and Lou.
Somehow they still became friends and she is really compreenssive and sweet.
🕯️ Maria - The believer
She smiles politely even during uncomfortable silences but she is extremely sharp tongue.
Acts normal. Too normal. But she is not.
Maria listens to Anah’s stories without laughing from them, but with them.
That’s somehow more terrifying than disbelief.
🎮 Rena - The skeptical friend
Always trying to find a logical explanation.
Gets uncomfortable around mirrors and dark rooms but pretends not to care.
She thinks Anah is just “eccentric.”
Deep down, she’s scared of being wrong.
🐑 Lari - The sensitive
Sensitive. Nervous.
The only friend who reacted immediately when looking at Kelvin’s direction.
After that day, she stopped sleeping well.
She still says she saw nothing.

Terms of Service
► Can you draw for free?
Do you work for free? Me neither.► What are the payment methods??
Usually, Paypal. Any other way I'm free to talk about (payoneer, crypto, etc)► Which programs do you use ?
Clip studio Paint EX, Paint Tool SAI 2 and Photoshop► How many drawings can I request ?
As many as you wish(it will have to wait in a queue of slots) But of course, we have to talk about it if is a big project.► When will you start?
I will start the request once the first half of the payment is received and after finish the last drawing from the queue.► How long it takes to be done ?
It depends of how much busy I'll be and how many detail it will have. (I also have a life beyond may drawings, you know?).
And most of all, it will depend on the details level of the request.
The deadline will be set at the time of the request, but I have a human life after all. Bad things can happen to me, such as insomnia, I can get sick, etc► I need to change some details on my request! Can I do this?
I will send you WIP screenshots gradually so if there's something you want to add/modify you can just ask.► Which kind of drawing can I request?
Any kind you wish. Hentai, yaoi, yuri, romance, nudity, furry, gore, etc... Keep in mind that there are certain types that still limited for me, like the furry exemple above. But it will be discussed directly with the customer. I do not feel discomfort with this kind of theme. Probably, I will only refuse a request in VERY extremes cases. Like a drawing for a campaign that supports something criminal for example.► Can I use your drawing in a book, shirt, etc?
This is a VERY delicate subject.
In the case of PERSONAL USE, yes, you can do. Requesting a drawing for a shirt that YOU'RE going to use is ok (or to give as a gift, to use it like banner on your channel, fanpage, whatever).
This is something of personal use, without lucrative endings. But if you wish to reproduce for large-scale sales for example, you need to remember that you DO NOT have rights over the image, so we need to discuss it before, cause there's a copyright tax that varies accordingly with the demand.
When I started in this area I had no knowledge of laws and how people could take advantage of me, but I'm older and safer now, so we will need to sit and discuss your intentions with my work.
The values for copyrights must be paid beforehand in the case of large-scale production and lucrative endings!► How can I contact you?
