How it feels

A slow, atmospheric puzzle game that feels like drifting through a fading memory with sparse dialogue and a heavy sense of melancholy.

About

I want to see you again, even if only for one last time… Heal is an experimental adventure game from the creator of DISTRAINT series, exploring the themes of aging and dementia. The narrative is driven by a strong and obscure atmosphere, with instructions and dialog used only sparingly. Wake up from a dreamless sleep, explore the mysteries of your surroundings and solve puzzles.
