About the game

A dark/sad/weird/funny first person exploration game. You play a man on his last night alive as he obsesses over a mysterious painting. More of a story game in that it emphasizes mood and character over gameplay. Takes ten minutes to play and has "next-gen" features like a shrimp tank. Be warned, the game contains explicit handling of suicide.

Made me felt terrible. And this is both what the authors intended and what I expected, therefore I am satisfied.

This could be a potential indie game but due to lack of depth in the story, I do not recommend this game. As a player, you need to do as you are told and you are unable to carry out other tasks until you finish the said task. When I play this game, I expected to at least interact with certain objects but mostly as a player, I need to observe and make my own conclusion. Plus, there is no deep thoughts within the man.…
