Livber: Smoke and Mirrors - Prologue

Livber: Smoke and Mirrors is an interactive psychological horror story shaped by your choices: one steeped in love, obsession, and madness. Every decision you make, every step you take, will pull you deeper into your own personal insanity.

BRIEF SUMMARY

Lilith, whom you believed dead for years, calls to you with nothing but a letter, summoning you back to the old house, silent witness to your past. Inside the letter, there is only an address and a few haunting lines:
"I will birth our creation in our home. Come, and crown us in the dark. You and I must always be one."

And so, on a night drowned in rain, you return. Through the windows, candlelight flickers, proof that someone is inside.
Lilith… or whatever remains of her.

Within those walls, long-buried memories resurface: betrayal, passion, and wounds that never healed. Lilith has been waiting, not just for reunion, but to complete a dark plan set in motion years ago. And with every question you ask, you’re pulled further into a reality that no longer feels like your own.
