About the Game

Guide an old man through the dark and atmospheric world of Heal in this abstract 2D puzzle-adventure point-and-click game.

Dear, I'm playing our melody for you.
Do you find it familiar...?
Maybe it could help you to remember.
... to remember us.

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.

There are very little dialogue and text in Heal. Instead, the narrative is driven by a strong and obscure atmosphere.

  • Side-scrolling 2D with unique, handmade graphics
  • Atmospheric sound design
  • An abstract world filled with puzzles
  • Narrative driven by the atmosphere
  • Handmade in Finland - no asset flips or cheap tricks!
