a slow, monotonous walk through abstract and gory scenes, drenched in self-pity and mild psychological unease

What players say
Players describe this as an art piece rather than a traditional game, praising its raw and honest portrayal of depression and isolation. The surreal, dreamlike world and the character Ollie are frequently mentioned, along with a standout soundtrack. Some find its abstract nature frustrating, but most agree the emotional weight is worth pushing through.
