How it feels

A short, first-person puzzle game that feels like a subdued walk through fragmented, anxious memories, focusing on isolation and distorted everyday situations.

What players say

Players praise the honest portrayal of depression and anxiety through visual metaphors and atmosphere, but split on whether the 15-30 minute experience offers enough gameplay, some call it a moving emotional journey, others find it underwhelming as a puzzle game.
