It is a choice-based interactive fiction game about a surreal art museum that is intent on keeping its patrons forever. "You have been transported to a bizarre museum whose strangeness only grows the longer you remain, and you grow strange with it. Find your way out of the twisting halls, past the impossible paintings, and try to retain some sense of self for when you return to the real world." Content warning: Some disturbing content, explicit language, mention of suicide, animal gore, violence, clowns (The first public release is for IFComp 2024, and will remain content-consistent over the course of its judging period. After the judging period is over the next build will include quality of life updates, additional art and music. For now, the Gallery awaits.) EXTERNAL LINKS Play online At itch.io.
