JPEG

A short psychological walk sim from a first-person perspective. Day after day, you perform routine tasks in the same apartment, following on-screen prompts. But the familiar walls begin to change — the protagonist is going mad, and so are you. Will you make it to the day the screen fades to black?

About the Game

One Day... and Another... and Another...


A short narrative walk sim from a first-person perspective, designed to be completed in 15-20 minutes.

You are set to live through a series of identical days within the walls of the same apartment. Wake up, follow the prompts, go about your usual routine. The sounds of your own footsteps echo through the empty rooms as the reminders guide you along the beaten path... But is the apartment truly empty?

NOBODY

The deeper you go into this loop of reality, the more clearly you begin to notice: the world around you has a life of its own. The familiar apartment takes on new features; your eye catches details that weren't there yesterday. The protagonist slowly descends into madness — and you descend into madness along with him. Maybe it's just fatigue? Or perhaps, in this routine, you are not alone?

GO TO THE BATHROOM

Features:

  • A short but atmospheric journey: Perfect for an evening, offering a chance to experience someone else's story and reflect.

  • Descending into madness: The story progresses linearly, but the perception of the world around the protagonist (and the player) distorts with each passing day — without even leaving the apartment.

  • The reality loop: Each day resembles the last, but is that always the case?

  • Atmosphere of presence: Realistic footstep sounds immerse you in the silence of solitude.

  • Convenience: Auto-saves between in-game days and the ability to pause at any moment.

  • The ending: One day, the routine will be interrupted. The screen will slowly fade to black.
