You play as Henrietta, a 22-year-old woman who was deafened by a car accident that also took her father's life. Ever since then, she's only been able to hear things that most people cannot. This ability has earned her the nickname Oddrietta from her peers, but she tries to go about her days anyway. And then one day, just when she's about to go to work, she receives a letter from her mother telling her "Don't go out, the wind is changing people..." Outside her apartment, the city has become absolute chaos. A strange wind is turning those who hear it into grotesque monsters, and Henrietta, being deaf, is the only one immune. Now it's up to her to escape, survive, investigate, and find the source while collecting her memories that can help her discover what happened.
The main gimmick is the two different modes the game can be played in. Death mode is the traditional "dying means Game Over and back to the title screen" mode where you are allowed to load from your last save. Time Loop mode instead sends you back to the start of the game, keeping any memories you obtained.
The game is available to download through the Itch.io site
.
This game contains examples of:
- Big Bad: Henry is bringing about the wind turning people into monsters and trying to force Henrietta to marry him.
- Body Horror: Happened to everyone else in town but Henrietta, due to the wind mutating people into monsters.
- Chekhov's Gun: The rusted knife, which is the only thing that can injure Henry.
- Continuing is Painful: Dying on Death mode just gets you a Game Over and lets you restart from the nearest save point. If you have the game on Time Loop mode, though, dying will not get you a Game Over and will even net you an extra memory for every new way you die. However, you'll be sent back to the start of the game and have to do everything all over again up to where you died. Worse, doing this 10 times is mandatory to get the Golden Ending, which requires all memories.
- Drunk with Power: Invoked and the subverted in the True Ending. After Henrietta discovers she has reality-warping powers, she boasts that now she can control reality as if were clay....Only to simply use it to make the city back to normal. With Henry erased from existence, that is.
- Fatal Attractor: Poor Henrietta. The only guys who have any interest in her are creeps and weirdos, such as the perverted superintendent or a genderflipped version of her with reality warping powers.
- Entitled to Have You: Henry assumes that being Henrietta's genderbend means that her loving him is inevitable regardless of anything else that happens. When she makes clear that she isn't interested, he falls into utter despair and kills her dog, her father and turns all the world into monsters in a desperate way to make her notice him.
- Gotta Catch 'Em All: There are 39 memories for Henrietta to find, which can be found by doing things like solving puzzles, interacting with objects, and even dying to enemies. Getting all of them is needed to get the Golden Ending.
- "Groundhog Day" Loop: In the Time Loop mode, dying will send Henrietta back to the start of her day and reset everything. Doing this is necessary to get the Golden Ending which requires you to, among other things, die to every enemy type.
- He Knows Too Much: Henry does this to Henrietta's father after he tells him the truth of what happened to the world.
- I See Dead People: Henrietta becomes able to talk to the spirits of the dead after the car accident, which is how her classmates came up with the nickname Oddrietta.
- Lohengrin and Mendelssohn: “Henrietta’s Wedding”, one of the last themes in the game, is a dark and atmospheric arrangement of the “Bridal March” section to signify the Big Bad Henry's obsessive desire to marry Henrietta, and it also plays in the ending where they do indeed get married.
- Multiple Endings:
- Bad Ending: If Henrietta doesn't want to marry Henry, he takes the rejection badly. He kills Henrietta and sends her back in time to the start of the game, hoping she'll say yes next time.
- "Good" Ending: If Henrietta agrees to marry Henry, the two have a wedding ceremony inside his pocket dimension. She's still deaf, the rest of the world are stuck as monsters and Henrietta is clearly not happy about being with her stalker.
- True Ending: If Henrietta stabs Henry, she realizes that she has the same reality warping powers as him. She uses them to turn the city back to normal and erases Henry from existence so he won't hurt anyone again.
- Ominous Fog: The town is blanketed in a thick layer of fog.
- Papa Wolf: Henrietta's father died in an car accident in order to protect her from a crazy stalker, but is still around as a ghost who watches over her. A very creepy ghost.
- Reality Warper: Henry has the power to alter reality, control space and time and travel parallel universes. Turns out Henrietta shares the same power, which she puts to use in the Golden Ending.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Henry, the Big Bad responsible for turning everyone into monsters, has red eyes.
- Screw Yourself: An In-Universe example, as Henry is in love with Henrietta, a female version of him from another universe.
- Self-Made Orphan: Henry killed Henrietta's father just because he threatened to call the cops if he didn't stop stalking his daughter. Since Henrietta was an alternate version of him, this means Henry killed an alternate version of his father.
- Shout-Out:
- Henrietta is a fan of Automagoria, another game by Axel Vejar Dossow.
- She has the chance to throw herself from the balcony, a reference to Yume Nikki.
- Henrietta's appearance invokes typical Yume Nikki fangame protagonists, having closed eyes and plain clothes with a decoration.
- Spear Counterpart: Henry is a female-to-male version of Henrietta. Where Henry is Faux Affably Evil, Henrietta is a blunt and snarky girl on the side of good. More importantly, Henry considers himself above humanity and uses his powers to bring the apocalypse just because a girl rejected him. While Henrietta thinks of herself as a human being who happens to have strong psychic powers and uses them to put the world back to normal.
- Surreal Horror: The city turns into a bizarre landscape thanks to the wind. People turn into strange monsters and many locations are Yume Nikki-esque realms.
