Game Overview
“Theory of Fear” is a visual novel combining “slice of life” and “dark fantasy” genres. In the daytime, the main heroine is an ordinary girl, a first-year university student, who does an evening job in a café. At night, in her dreams, she visits another world with extraordinary guys, who start pursuing her. At first, she makes little account of her dreams, thinking they’re no more than vivid fantasies, but the more she drowns into them, the clearer her realization of the Midworld’s reality becomes – it exists and those who live there aren’t going to leave her alone…
Additional description:

– There are 6 characters in the game: one main heroine and 5 guys, with whom the girl can form relationships.
– 12 different endings, which depend on the player’s choice during the game.
