[Notice]
We are currently experiencing an issue where lighting is not rendering correctly on certain AMD and Intel GPUs.
While we plan to address this in a future update, we cannot guarantee a definitive fix at this time. Please note that the game environment may appear dark due to the lack of lighting. If you are affected by this issue, you may request a refund through Steam Support.
Pastel provides players with psychological fear of underwater or above-water objects.
Players explore a blue space that is both beautiful and terrifying, looking for ways to survive.
Sometimes you'll have to solve puzzles to clear your way, and sometimes you'll have to fight creepy creatures.
You can enjoy the story by reading past logs scattered around the world.
Inspired by submechanophobia and liminal space.
Features: Switch between FPS and TPS perspectives at will.
VHS effects (noise, blur, fisheye lens effect, etc.) can be disabled from the pause menu.
