A tense, dreamlike sprint through a soldier's brief escape fantasy, told with no words.

What players say
Players describe this as a minimalist walking simulator based on the Ambrose Bierce story, with gameplay limited to holding right and occasional vertical movement. Reviews note the faithful adaptation and pixel art style, but split on the abrupt ending and clunky pacing.
