How it feels

A branching, atmospheric first-person adventure where your small choices throw the world out of balance, leading through surreal landscapes from paradise to claustrophobic destruction.

What players say

Players praise Parallel as a surreal, one-of-a-kind experience from a solo Brazilian developer, but warn the translation is rough and movement feels stiff. Puzzle solutions can be unclear, and dying sends you far from your last save, which some find harsh.
