Dr. Montgomery's latest patient, Noel, is as mysterious as he is prone to obfuscating. 

But there's something odd about these sessions with him. Something left unsaid.

It's almost as if... they cannot escape this room.

Special Thanks (CLICK ME)

This game was created with funds from the Queer Games Bundle. Thank you to the organizers and purchasers of the bundle for giving a tiny, independent global south dev the chance of creating something that would never have come to fruition without financial aid.
My sincere thank you to ZNT Productions for publishing the game on Steam, and believing in the concept from start to finish.
Game development has been my hobby and passion for over 12 years, while I grew up, as I graduated in Psychology, and hopefully for a long time to come. 
Thank you for the support.

I still have to finish the game so I'll update the review once I do. 

Currently, I've gotten a few endings and achievements and I've entered "the mystery" of the story. 

GOSH, Noel is such a well-written character, I'm super invested in their story and learning more about them. They're so unpredictable, I'm still not completely sure whether some of the things they say are true (or half-truths) or not, if they're just deflecting or if there's more to the story than meets the eye.

I am starting to understand why this game is called METAhorror and it captivates and terrifies me at the same time dksjbgkjsdb. There's a good amount of 'WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING' that keeps you invested and eager to learn more.

The art, music and cinematography of the coding are also really well done and do WONDERS to the immersion experience!!

I can tell this game was made with a lot of passion and love, congratulations on making such a wonderful game Mei!!!
