What do you think?

I want to get into some detail here, since I don't want to dismiss your question with a copy & paste text.

The game focuses on telling the story of the main protagonist, Fumiko. It will throw you in an unfamiliar environment and often tries to catch you by surprise. The progression of the main plot is linear, but the levels will become increasingly open to exploration in direct relationship with the mobility of the player character. In addition to the main plot, information is scattered through the levels that the attentive player will find, like memory fragments and conversations with the inhabitants of the network. These are crucial pieces to get the full picture of the story.

The first story chapter will focus on Fumiko escaping the testing labs, the second chapter puts the player in a openworld-ish scenario of exploring a big social hub with up to 12 discoverable homeworlds (the virtual homes of the inhabitants). The third and fourth chapter will continue the struggle of the main character of getting chased by the people she escaped from, cycling between challenges, puzzles and more exploration. Each level has a unique style and design.

Depending on the situation you're in, the game is a platformer-, action- or adventure game. There are enemies able to chase you and bosses that you'll have to take down as seen in the trailer. They are a challenge, but nothing so difficult that it prevents progression for a longer time. I made sure of that in the latest update, which I released shortly before uploading the game here. The game will basically ask you to find solutions to things it throws at you, giving you often more tools than needed to solve the task.

If you want to try out the game before you buy, please download the demo above. It'll feature the first few levels of the game, so you can get a real sneak-peek. However, it'll cut you off with a ciffhanger.

If you're buying the game straight or checking out the demo first depends on you. What matters is that you enjoy the game. All I can say is that it has a lot to offer, but you'll never know without giving it a chance.

Played the game and loved it! I wasn't going to do a full play through because of camera issues but I was able to find the camera setting with some help so here is part 1 <3

i read the comments. i soon realized it was a video. i didn't download it because i want to play games

First I want to say, this is tripy and amazing all at the same time. At first glance, I thought it was just going to be light hearted and artsy. (Not that would be a bad thing. But the slow story reveal is very interesting. I enjoy a good sci fi story that doesn't lose me in the first five seconds with massive back story. All-in-all I can't wait to play more. FYI, I apologize for my terrible pronunciation if I said it wrong.
