About the Game

Margin of the Strange is a gardening-themed mystery-exploration game about the world of human dreams. You play as Ling, a young man experiencing the phenomenon of "dreaming" for seemingly the first time. He discovers that the dream world is actually a type of ecosystem--a sprawling, crystalline, alien dimension dictated by Strange physical laws. Over the course of 6 weeks, Ling seeks to find out more about this world in order to unravel the mysteries surrounding his own life... and his own death.
