Get subjected to religious psychosis. Uncover the truth. Break the cycle.</strong> </h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >You wake up in a locked prison cell. Everything is red. On the wall of the cell is a mirror, and when you look into it, you see the truth. Your cell unlocks, but you're far from free. Explore a non-linear world with interconnected level design, each space more dream-like than the last. Talk to NPCs or slay them. Read the signs or ignore them. Take the path set for you or find another. Read a bunch of scripture against your will. Interpret its lack of meaning. Worry about the mental health of another. Accept there's nothing you can do for them.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ><span class="bb_img_ctn"><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3603070/extras/81e4e6b3df78b266ca30de1f34f90efd.poster.avif?t=1770763478" width=600 height=250 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3603070/extras/81e4e6b3df78b266ca30de1f34f90efd.webm?t=1770763478" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3603070/extras/81e4e6b3df78b266ca30de1f34f90efd.mp4?t=1770763478" type="video/mp4"></video></span> </p><h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>Souls-inspired but far from Souls-like.</strong></h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >No dodging, no parrying, no blocking, no rolling. You aren't a hardened knight or agile hunter, you are a frail prisoner, and escape is your only hope. Fight monsters, if you want. I know that's what you expect, so go ahead. A mediocre variety of enemies for you to press the attack button at. Experience multiple endings, make choices, do it all differently. Maybe then you'll understand.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ><span class="bb_img_ctn"><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3603070/extras/ab5a8f42ca79d513f7bc30a90d341b5a.poster.avif?t=1770763478" width=600 height=250 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3603070/extras/ab5a8f42ca79d513f7bc30a90d341b5a.webm?t=1770763478" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3603070/extras/ab5a8f42ca79d513f7bc30a90d341b5a.mp4?t=1770763478" type="video/mp4"></video></span> </p><h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>Learn to love 4:3.</strong> </h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >Go into the options menu and see that you can change the resolution.
