The Keyless: Awakening is a journey through a dreamlike, surreal world where the lines between reality and fantasy blur. In this first-person 3D experience, you play as a protagonist trapped in a mysterious, endless place.
Explore endless corridors and fields of red roses, face simple metaphorical challenges, and encounter bizarre creatures. Those who have found themselves in this strange place before you have left a note for you to read with their last thoughts.
The game has many interpretations and the gameplay consists of walking and running, alternating simple challenges with bizarre, metaphorical and surreal scenes, each fork in the road will slightly modify the environment and the paths.
It's about going through metaphorical situations, watching the environment transform as you choose a path, and interpreting what you see through the lens of dreams, life and death.
Developed by a single person with Unreal Engine.
