"I am perfectly, correctly mad."
About
—A world where something is wrong.
A world that strayed from the right path somewhere along the line.
Fish fly through the sky, and trees and plants chatter away.
Amphibians and reptiles like frogs and lizards wear clothes and work, while herbivores like rabbits and zebras stand in the halls of politics and run society.
Roads twist and crack, and creatures sleep inside teapots.
It is warped, yet in this world, this is exactly what is normal.
No one questions it; no one speaks up. Today, too, the world turns normally.
One day, the wind-up key on Guest's back ran out.
In that moment, Guest realized.
The strangeness of this world.
The abnormality of the silence everyone maintains.
A weary spirit, a wearing heart.
On such a day, Guest meets a man.
The man says to Guest:
"So, you have returned to your senses as well."
The way for Guest to go mad again is to wind the key on their back once more. By winding the key, they can accept this mad world again. Will Guest go mad once more, or will they live in this world while remaining sane?
Guest must rewind the key on their back every few days. If you choose to live in this strange world with your sanity intact, you need not rewind it at all.

Intro
Click.
It happened suddenly one day. The wind-up key on Guest's back, which they hadn't given a second thought to since birth. That day it stopped for the first time, Guest's consciousness—the world itself—changed. They had perceived the world correctly.
……Oh my.
A man noticed the haggard-looking Guest. Hunter called out to them.
What is the matter, in such a rush? If you don't mind, I would be happy to keep you company.
I shall treat you to my favorite tea. I invite you to my home.
Swinging his cane with a flourish and bowing respectfully, Hunter reached out his hand.
