👁️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.

📜 Official Disclaimer

"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

ANY OTHER QUESTION?

Sleep on Sweet little child Day is young and the water is fleezing (don't wake)

Night is so deep and slow Close your eyes Dream on

Dear little child in the sky Stars are still fading away dove, you're a dove into close

Sleep on Sweet little child day is young

Wish why....

眠りなさい 可愛い幼子よ　 陽はまだ若く　 水は冷たく凍えている　 夜の歩みは深沈にて、遅いもの　

夢を見ていて　 愛しい幼子よ　 天には星達が未だ消え往く　 この地上では　 瀕死の小鳩が地を這う　

眼が醒めたら　 どのみちこの世界をお前も見るの　

From my mouth There falls the seed

Though my blood There spread the branches Twisted and turned There grows the tree Soon be torn The ocean glows

Where are you now? Where are you now? Where are you now? Where are you now?

Off my eyes There took the files Soon be found

The dry ground By my side

You lie to sleep Without fear Without a doubt

Like a dream Just like a dream Like a dream Just like a dream

I have no white for myself We are all torn The ocean glows

私の口から 種子が落ちる

私の血けど 枝が広がっ ねじれとなって 木が育つ すぐに引き裂かれる 海が点灯

どこにいるの？ どこにいるの？ どこにいるの？ どこにいるの？

私の目オフ ファイルが存在した すぐに見つけることが

乾式粉砕 私の側で

あなたは睡眠にうそをつく 恐れることなく、 疑いもなく

夢のよう 夢のよう 夢のような 夢のよう

please forgive me, please forgive me for all the things I've done I won't ask, I won't ask But I am praying...

There's the contours But there's no future in the past We will live beneath tomorrow's scar...

Cold I not make you cry? Though I know the tears are pure Cold I let you know how much I love you baby

Dreaming of a little freedom There's nothing we can do...

So you and me will live another day...

Do you still remember...? How we cried and got dryed

Do you still remember...? How we cried...and got lost Can you forget the things I've left undone

Smiling like a fool... But keep lying Baby...

And with nothing left to do... And soon we will die...

Somehow it will shine another day...

許してほしい　やって終ったことを 望めないから　ただ祈ってたりする 過ぎた時間のなかに　明日があるんじゃないと言う 声をぼんやり聞いている ぼくら生きるのは明日得るだろう傷のためじゃあないと

泣かせたりせずにいられたらいいのに その涙がきれいだと知っていても どれだけ愛しているか　少しでも伝えられたんだろうか あともう少しの自由を望みながら　できることなんてない それで明日もきっと生きてる

覚えてるかい どんなに泣いたか　どうやって乾いてきたのか まだ覚えているかい どんなに泣いて　そして迷ったのか
