SACHIKO

A fast-paced top-down survival game where every wave comes with a choice...
and not every choice has your best interests in mind.

Survive increasingly difficult waves, collect power-ups, and make your way through the chaos.
At the end of each wave, you'll be presented with three mysterious cards.

At least one of them is a Plot Twist.

Some power-ups will give you exactly what you expect.
Others... well, let's just say the game isn't always interested in helping you.

Choose carefully. Survive the waves.
Try to figure out whether you've been given a genuine power-up...
or something that would have been better left unopened.

Because apparently, surviving hordes of enemies
wasn't stressful enough.

STORY

Hi! I'm Sachiko.

When I was five, something very bad happened to my family.

Everyone disappeared.
Well... almost everyone.

My mother was still there.
She held me close and told me something very important.

“Don't worry about revenge, Sachiko.
Just survive.”

So I did.

I grew up. I stayed quiet.
I behaved myself.

I never went looking for the people who hurt us.

I think Mom would have been proud.

Then, one day...
something came into my head.

He says he's my friend.

He makes the memories come back.

The screaming.
The blood.
Mom.

Over and over and over and over.

It's funny.

I don't remember things being this colorful.

Now there are so many people here.
They keep coming at me.

So I shoot them.

I think they're supposed to be the bad guys.

At least...
that's what he tells me.

Every time I kill something,
he gets a little stronger.

Every time I remember,
I lose a little more of myself.

But that's okay.

I'm very good at surviving.

Mom told me to survive.

And I always listen to Mom.

So come play with me.

Let's see how long I can stay me.

— Sachiko
