How it feels

A reflective journey through fragmented memories as you piece together a life story while lying helpless on the ground.

What players say

Players are divided: some see a thoughtful memory exercise, but most call it a slideshow with no meaningful gameplay. Nearly all agree it is more like clicking through a photo album than playing a game, with vague pictures that do not tell a clear story.
