Science used to be your purpose, but now it is your prison.
You play a scientist trapped in a distorted version of your own lab, an alternate reality shaped by the quiet, often unseen struggles of scientific research. Through light 2D combat, use lab-inspired tools and companions to battle your way out. As in science, the way forward isn't always a choice.
A short narrative journey with an emotional, introspective tone
2D combat using lab equipment and science-themed companions
Rooted in the lived experience of someone who's been through the ups and downs of research
Alright. Deep breaths. Let’s find the way out of here. I’ve got loads of experiments waiting for me back in the real world.
Researcher's log
I started this game while unemployed, after moving to a new country, and decided to finish it after settling into a new job in a lab. It’s inspired by the quieter, often unspoken stories behind scientific research. I hope the game resonates with you, even just a little bit, whether you're in the lab, playing for the story, or just finding your way forward.
