How it feels

A tense, satirical escape thriller set in a retro-futuristic reality show, where mundane life hides deadly viewer-driven stakes.

What players say

Players praise its clever Truman-Show-meets-Portal story, with a satirical take on capitalism. The gameplay mixes light platforming and simple puzzles, and the voice acting and art style are strong enough to carry the experience. Some wish the first-person sections were better, and the overall length is about ten hours.
