About the Game

[WARNING: This game is difficult and offers very little guidance/handholding which can be frustrating for some players.]

In Chiral, a sci-fi psychological horror/comedy first person puzzle game, you'll assume the role of a disembodied brain in a jar, paired with a digital AI companion. Together, you'll navigate a labyrinth of mirror, laser, and gravity puzzles that will challenge your spatial reasoning.

After a "routine" brain transfer procedure, you find yourself in a jar, but don't worry—you'll still be a valuable asset to the corporation! As you traverse the eerie and captivating levels, you'll encounter mind-bending spatial puzzles and corrupted robotic managers.

Key Features:

  • Spatial Puzzles: Test your intellect with complex mirror, laser, and gravity challenges.

  • Dark Humor: Enjoy a storyline infused with a creepy yet comedic tone.

  • Unique Mechanics: Utilize your ability to cross through mirrors, manipulate objects, alter gravity., and more.

  • Atmospheric World: Immerse yourself in the unsettlingly delightful corporate dystopia with a brutalist foundation sprinkled with some cartoony augmented reality.

Enter Chiral and embrace the madness. Your brain will never be the same again.
