Mind Hole is a short psychological horror game entirely developed by a single person, Kazumi404.
What started as a simple test while learning RPG Maker MV gradually grew into a personal, atmospheric project shaped by music, trauma, and surreal tension.
What is Mind Hole?
You play as Rui, a young woman living in complete isolation after traumatic events in her past.
Confined to her apartment, she spends her days in silence, until her nights begin to change.
Her world has shrunk to a single room, quiet, familiar, and suffocating.
But lately, her nights have changed.
Sleep becomes a battlefield.
Something refuses to let her rest… and it’s getting harder to ignore.
Mind Hole mixes psychological horror, puzzles, and story-driven mystery, drawing inspiration from AntiHoney ’s music and the real phenomenon of sleep paralysis (金縛り / kanashibari).
Characters Inspired Directly by AntiHoney
Every character in Mind Hole is 100% inspired by the lyrics of a specific AntiHoney song.
Their personalities, motives, symbolism, and emotional “lore” come directly from the themes expressed in those original lyrics.
Instead of creating characters first and searching for meaning later, Mind Hole does the opposite:
their entire existence is born from the music.
The songs are the foundation, and the game is the interpretation.
This creates a surreal atmosphere where emotions, fears, and illusions feel like they came straight from a dream, or a nightmare.
The project is old, and I received written permission from AntiHoney herself before she passed away, allowing me to use her work as inspiration.
The game has no commercial intent regarding her music, it was created out of admiration and respect for what she made.
In many ways, Mind Hole is a tribute to her art.
The songs are the foundation, and the game is my way of interpreting and honoring them.
Gameplay & World
Mind Hole takes place entirely inside Rui’s apartment, turning one familiar space into a layered psychological maze.

“Mind Hole” is a non-commercial, personal project created by Kazumi404 as a tribute to the musical legacy of AntiHoney.
About the Soundtrack: All music used in this game is the original work of the late singer/songwriter AntiHoney. This project was developed out of deep admiration for her art, and I received personal permission from her to use her work as inspiration before her passing.
A Tribute to Her Voice: My main goal is to ensure that AntiHoney’s hauntingly beautiful music continues to be heard and that her legacy is never forgotten.
Supporting the Artist: This game is 100% free to play. While donations are enabled on this page, they are entirely optional and go directly toward supporting my work as an independent artist (development, art, and programming). No profit is being made from the distribution of AntiHoney’s music itself.
Visual Inspiration: The visual identity of our protagonist, Rui, is also a dual tribute, inspired by the aesthetics of both the musician AntiHoney and the talented artist Anti-Honey from DeviantArt. Her profile: https://www.deviantart.com/anti-honey
