Tomorrow evening. You have to leave the country in the next 24 hours… some important business. Suddenly you realize you have forgotten crucial files & your passport at work. You really need all this: you will have to drive there, hoping that there is still someone to let you enter… if not this will be an illegal entrance. Quick & clean.

-Replaced 14 textures (photos) with AI inspired ones. Those are small details in only one level but I wanted to update that for some time.
Version 1.5.33-20250106
-French language was added to the game! It was a huge task: it's finally here. AI was partially used to help process the last half. If you see any problem, feel free to comment!
-Minor updates for Turkish & English translations : --"to be continued" message at the end of the game ;), --improved an hint for racing puzzle during Temple of Trials.
-Other minor graphical or code updates.
-A meta-game was updated. During stud-hunt, just when it's loaded and begins, press "R" and "B" together; you should hear a ring sound. Debug mode is active: you can press "D" to skip to victory without penalty… for now. In the future, doing this process should also make the main game harder when you come back into it. Nothing comes for free.
-Note: an hotfix was included.
Version 1.5.32-20240714
-Turkish language was updated, thank you ic3robot for your awesome work!
Version 1.5.31-20240709

Version 1.5.30-20240512
-Turkish language was added to the game! My sincere thanks to ic3robot for making this a reality, his interest in FT and feedback. Just so you know, AI was used to help checking this huge task. I find interesting trying those new technologies! If you find any mistake, feel free to report it. Fonts were updated to display correctly all letters. I simply took Penumbra fonts I already used for another project, The Woodpecker. This will help a lot for any future translations as well!
For the occasion, some in-game content was updated as well. -Updated a puzzle during level Temple Trials: fixed a possible softlock. Thanks ToastyGlaceon for your feedback! -Added a new music track in the same level, during a boss fight. -Added a new music track after Sento Escape. -Updated credits.

I forgot to include them earlier. -More details in new maps! -Minor edits and tweaks as well. -Minor update in credits. -Minor UI updates.

Who is that girl… Is this real… They want me… Are you proud? I hate you so much.
Made between 2013-2022. Over 2600 hours were needed to produce FT!
An Expansion Pack is being developed! Work resumed since January 2025 during some weekends, when I can. Stay tuned! :)
This Total Conversion is inspired by some Asian folklore, ghost stories and initially by (you may have guessed) the Corpse Party game series. The project quickly expanded and became something a lot more personal though.
New models, textures, soundtrack, SFX, interface, etc.
Various maps, various environments, in and out.
Languages: English, French and Turkish! With luck others might be added; we will see, you can contact me if you are interested!
