About Confabulation
You wake up at your home, but something does not seem right. Looking around your house, you begin to notice things are different than what you remember. You use a camera to take photos to reveal the truth, to remember what was there. Your memory is fading; the longer things remain different, the faster you succumb. Keys to find, mysteries to solve, a home to explore. You need to keep your memory intact to put together pieces of your life and remember who you are and what has happened. Only then will you get the peace that you desire.
During your play-through, you will need to study the layout of the home and what each room looks like. Over time, things will change and it is up to you to correct what changes in order to keep your sanity in tact. The more you let your sanity drain the more horror elements will occur and things that will change. If you let your sanity drain too far you will succumb and lose. There is no saving, a loss will end your play and you will need to restart.What you will be doing while playing:
- Take photos of objects that have changed to return them to normal and prevent sanity loss.
- Solve puzzles around the house to keep unlocking new rooms.
- Piece together story elements to progress the main story and discover what happened. Piecing together the entire story is how you win.
- Take pills to restore memory and keep your sanity in check.
- All puzzles, changing objects, horror elements and story elements are randomized on each play, allowing multiple plays to keep each play feeling different.
- A normal and hard difficulty setting, both difficulties unlocked from the start.
- Normal difficulty is meant to be an appropriate challenge, ramping up in difficulty the longer you play.
- Hard difficulty is meant to be very challenging, introducing many new things that can change, increased puzzle difficulty and less overall time.
- Statistics to track what you have accomplished and your best completed time for each difficulty.

This was a pretty cool take on the anomaly detection/report formula, you use a camera to reset things that have changed or are changing. It has a sanity mechanic, similar to other games. However, in this game there is an overarching story to be told and puzzles to solve along the way. The main game was pretty short for me (~2 hours) but your mileage will vary depending on what difficulty you play on and how many times you pass out. There are also additional modes unlocked once you beat the main game, so there is value there for your money for sure. If you'd like to check out my play through of the game, please do so with the following link: https://youtu.be/4boV2smGwn4 If you are so inclined, please sub to the channel (it's free).

Super enjoyable take on the anomaly genre. The puzzles were in that goldie locks zone of not overly simple but challenging enough to make you think for awhile. Every time I had to start over I made a little more progress and never got bored or annoyed having to give it another go. Well played jump scares, but maybe I'm not the best to judge as I'm jumpy as hell in real life already. Had a lot of fun with this, thanks for your creation!
It is a little addicting when you are trying to get all of the achievements. The difficulty actually matches the setting you play and it creates a fun struggle.
This game is definitely one of a kind. It's a good mix of anomaly hunting and psychological horror. I was so confused at first but then I was hooked on finding my next clue. Highly recommend
never make a game again bro holy this is ass
I was down with figuring out this game's somewhat obtuse nature, I enjoy a good puzzle game, and a horror puzzle game? Sign me up! Well, the TLDR is it isn't worth it. Also, the "self-harm" mentioned on the store page is beyond self-harm, if you catch my meaning. I would've preferred a "you did it!" screen over the edgy ending, personally. I play a lot of horror games and this style of ending is rarely earned, encountered too often, and utterly exhausting most of the time. The positives I have to say are 1) appreciate the most time-consuming puzzles locking in after a few rounds so you don't have to repeat them too much, and 2) when the puzzles are actually puzzling it's super solid.
