DeadWeight: A Lullaby

A falling body, a split-second decision, and a reality that refuses to move forward.Time stops.From that moment on, the game shifts into a layered, choice-driven experience where your decisions shape not only the outcome, but the meaning behind it.You will traverse environments distorted by perception and fragmented memories. Throughout your journey, you will encounter unsettling and emotionally charged sequences that challenge perception, morality, and self-justification, moving through moments of silence, confrontation, and psychological torture.At the center of it all is a presence that guides and helps, yet also judges and punishes. A figure that pushes you toward answers that feel increasingly unbearable.
