A downloadable game for Windows

After falling asleep in your father's car, you wake up in a familiar area. You recognize you're in your MIND. But instead of floating in a static void, there're floors and building-like structures. Seein' as this is new to you, you decide to explore this weird side of your mind,  but sometimes that isn't always favorable.


This game is heavily inspired by many other games like the Sonic Rush trilogy, UNDERTALE/DELTARUNE, etc.

It's also currently a prototype, so some assets are likely to change in future updates.

Color me surprised, since it says prototype I was expecting a very bear bones experience but this is a very complete game that is really well done, and it is so enjoyable to play.

Granted it needs a little bit of tuning, mostly in the physics part but that would be about it, I am not a great fan of sonic games or UNDERTALE myself but I can see the inspiration and how good it was adapted.

Sorry I could not experience all of it but I absolutely suck at Sonic-like games, for what is worth I loved what I did experience, the game has a sick aesthetic to it and a lot of personality on visuals, the music and the gameplay, everything goes well together.

This one is sure to be a banger, wish you good luck with the project and keep up the good work!
