How it feels

a surreal, slow-burn psychological puzzle where you follow a daily routine in a mental health facility and piece together fragmented memories through dreams.

What players say

Players say this Rusty Lake entry trades the usual surreal horror for a more personal, emotional story about memory and loss. The puzzles are notably easier than other games in the series, and the minimalist black-and-white art and split-screen narration stand out, but some find the repetitive daily routine tedious.
