🆓 Free to Play 🕴 Psychological Horror 😱 Horror 😨 Dark 🤏 Short

A dark/sad/weird/funny first person exploration game. You play a man on his last night alive as he obsesses over a mysterious painting. More of a story game in that it emphasizes mood and character over gameplay. Takes ten minutes to play and has "next-gen" features like a shrimp tank.
