How it feels

A quiet, creeping unease as a text-driven game remembers you and forces you to confront what you've forgotten.

What players say

Players say this is a short interactive fiction that demands multiple playthroughs, with meta mechanics like altering game settings or reading code to unlock achievements. The story is a coming-of-age tale touching on mental health, and while some find it compelling, others lose investment after a few runs.
