Soothe

You awaken at the bottom of a rusted pit, another forgotten machine amongst a pile of those who came before. On your right, an extendable grappling claw, and on your left, a melted screen. You are given only one goal - reach the light above.

About the Game

Soothe is a brief single-player puzzle game characterized by dingey, dystopian architecture and bizarre, abstract imagery. Focus, patience, and attention to detail will serve you well.

You are a lone machine left behind in this strange environment, sporting an extendable grappling claw on your right arm and a melted screen on your left. You will be presented with a series of thematic challenges designed to evoke thoughts of what we value in the lives we all live. The grapple on your right can be used to collect distant objects and interact with the various interfaces you'll need to use to progress through this surreal place. Your only guidance will come from the glass fused into your left hand, and it directs you foremost to do one simple thing - reach the light above. 

Unpack the meaning behind the rooms and find a way to get what you want. That is, after all, more important than anything else. Right?
