Something Is Wrong

The Kid at the Back is a chilling horror visual novel that blurs the line between memory and nightmare. You keep seeing a child in the background of your photos - a child you don't recognize. They won't stop watching you.

As you dig deeper into the mystery, you realize that something terrible happened. Something that your mind has tried to forget. But the kid at the back won't let you forget... they remember everything.
