Dormitory-23 is an atmospheric 2D game about life in a strange dorm, where the hallways seem too long, the neighbors too numerous, and the “normal” rules suspiciously strict. You play as Ash: every day is filled with choices, minor quests, dialogues, and… the feeling that someone is looking a little closer than they should. On the surface, it’s “just a dorm.” But the further you go, the more you feel like everything around you is strange, and your “normal” interactions are just the surface. Some things are best ignored… but the game is specifically designed to make you notice. Riddles and Secrets!
NSFW / Mature content The game contains 18+ elements: adult themes, explicit dialogue, scenes and animations. If you’re under 18, it’s best to pass!!!
All characters in the game are over 18 years old.
