How it feels

An endless runner where you frantically draw paths to protect a fleeing man from ambiguous threats, a tense analogue for mental breakdown that feels futile yet compulsive.

What players say

Players describe an endless runner where you draw lines to jump and avoid enemies. Many report that high scores don't appear on the scoreboard, which some find motivating. The game uses procedural narrative and symbolism as a metaphor for mental health.
