Development started around circa 2020 with the intent of making the scariest game possible. (it is not)

The project also acted as a personal nightmare diary. 

Main inspirations for the game were: LSD: Dream Emulator, Yume Nikki, Silent Hill and Amnesia the Dark Descent.

The games graphics are PSX, CRT, VHS inspired. The intention is to make the player question what they see. Also low poly models are fast and easy to make for a solo dev like myself. Additionally the game should run pretty well even on slower computers. The framerate is locked at 24fps, This is to make the game feel  heavier and more dream-like and to reduce the games power consumption. Together we can fight the global warming! 😉

Warning: Some textures are made from (Heavily distorted and pixelated) pictures of roadkill, meat products and cat victims. No animals were harmed in making of this software.

As the software is based on a true story real nightmares, the feel is quite surreal at times. (Or that was the idea)

The demo, at the present time, has minimal story and lore. The ending is just a simple score screen.
