How it feels

A surreal, narrative-driven adventure where you psychoanalyse Freud's patients through point-and-click puzzles and dreamlike exploration, with a darkly whimsical tone and multiple endings shaped by your choices.

What players say

Players say this point-and-click adventure demands knowledge of psychoanalysis, with many feeling lost without a guide. The therapy mechanic receives praise for its originality, but the handwritten text and unclear instructions frustrate. Players split on whether the challenge is rewarding or just confusing, and most agree the game is short.
