About the Game

In this short surreal third-person exploration game, you relive the same set of memories through three emotional lenses: idyllic, mundane, and horrific. Which lens do you wish to remember through?

As you loop through each distorted variation, a clearer picture begins to emerge -- but clarity comes at a cost. Eventually, you’ll face a final, irreversible choice. What do you wish to remember? And what are you willing to forget?

Key Features:
– Explore fragmented memories across three psychological versions of the same environment
– Uncover hidden details and narrative threads by comparing variations
– Atmospheric third-person gameplay with discovery mechanics
– A haunting, minimalist score and reactive soundscape
– A branching finale based on your choice and emotional alignment
