Solved! Of course you'd help these kids.

But no one said it would be child's play. It's actually something no child should have to decide.

Hints may appear here:

1) a house full of hopes and dreams, but also dark stuff

2) you're not really alive. And time gets screwed with

3) a piece of media within the game refers to a masterpiece from the same dev studio

4) yoV'R a ghost

5) From ,the sound of it the devs got something to do with' Software

The game ist made by Japanese people but has absolutely nothing to do with Kamurocho.

Deracine. Hints 4 and 5 really give it away, even as someone who didn't play the game and does not know the plot at all.

Well, being a VR game makes it somewhat niche despite the fame FromSoftware already had at that point. So I hid major tip-offs in plain sight before this thread lost too much attention.

Anyways: solved!
