About the Game

"... a surreal little adventure that feels like a blend of Myst and the ending of 2001: A Space Odyssey."

"short, odd, sweet"

"techboi background generator"

A psychedelic first person exploration game set between worlds. While the game is light on puzzles, it offers an opportunity to look at pretty things and interact with alien artifacts.

Lights out. Headphones in. See you in the Otherside.

Playtime: ~10 minutes

Controls:

[WASD] - Move

[Mouse] - Look

[Right-click] - Look closely

*Note that this uses some fancy programming magic that isn't suited for lower-end GPUs.
