About the Game



This game is based on the creator's own personal experience. Experience the world through a patient diagnosed with severe depression, sinking deeper into the darkness. Through the game, we want to show that don't be scared of the "shadow" within one's heart. It grows with you. It communicates with you, and one day, you will find deep inside of you, the real you.

Features

  • Discover the Maps Within Your Mind: Starting in darkness, the path to the next level is always hidden in dark mist. The path can only be illuminated by the player's actions.
  • Simple, Intuitive Controls with In-Depth Gameplay: Use the arrow keys to simultaneously control both the main character and his shadow. They are bound to each other and will move in the same direction horizontally, yet move in opposite directions vertically.
