How it feels

It feels like a playful, absurdly grounded simulation of pre-trip jitters, mixing silly physics with mundane grooming tasks.

What players say

A short physics-based shaving sim about a Middle Eastern man preparing for a trip, players say the wacky controls are part of the fun. The game takes under an hour and connects silly gameplay with themes of facing racism at the airport.
