The main character jumps out of a window right at the start. Honestly, POV: you are playing the 100th indie game you bought on sale, and things only get worse from there.

A cute little puzzle game where you piece the story as you advance. The music fits the mood, the atmosphere conveys exactly the depressing hellhole feeling despite the game having simple graphics and the use of kanji for puzzle felt fresh as I don't remember any other game doing something like this. Sadly the game is pretty short, about an hour for the first time ( I guess it doesn't overstay its welcome). But I think it could've gone on a bit longer especially with the kanji puzzle being all relatively easy, and at the same time completely absent from the hardest puzzle the game has to offer. When you finish the game it feels like you spent more time decrypting random cypher than engaging with the main mechanic. Still, I liked this game and if you're looking for a good puzzle game that has an interesting story you should go for it.

Surprisingly effective horror gem!

An entertaining surreal puzzle platformer with multiple endings. Neither the platforming or puzzles are very tough. I got two endings after around 3 hours, but it may vary depending on your skill (in mostly puzzles) and whether you looked in the dicussion section on steam for where the secret items are. I've no clue how many endings there are in total. The game's probably worth it at full price, but it's a "no brainer" on sale.
