Third Place

A slow-burn psychological mystery set in a surreal café. No magic systems. No levels. Just secrets, dissociation, and a trail of dead men.

Ellie is a quiet café worker with a fractured sense of reality. She lives a solitary life, haunted by strange dreams in which she roams as a cat through a surreal neighbourhood where familiar figures are murdered one by one. In the waking world, a string of deaths connected to the café’s enigmatic patrons begins to blur the lines between memory, imagination, and truth. As Ellie unravels whispered rumours of a killer who haunts lovers, she finds herself caught in a web of forgotten trauma, shifting identities, and eerie coincidences. Only by confronting the shadows of her fractured mind can she hope to uncover what really happened—and who she truly is.
