How it feels

A brief, self-referential walk down a corridor that breaks the fourth wall with deadpan comedy and meta-commentary.

What players say

Players describe it as a very short, experimental comedy game where you repeatedly press a button in a corridor while a narrator reacts. Many compare it favorably to The Stanley Parable, calling it a lighter version of that experience. The game takes under an hour to complete, and opinions split on whether the concept is cleverly executed or simply annoying.
