How it feels
A claustrophobic dark comedy where everyday tasks become surreal and deadly in a crumbling house.

What players say
Players call it a short, frustrating adventure that uses dark humor and an insulting narrator to explore depression and agoraphobia. Reviews are split on whether the game is a meaningful portrayal or an amateurish attempt at therapy, but most agree its oppressive atmosphere and multiple endings make for a memorable experience.
