You play as Roya, a 27 year old woman born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not long after moving further into the city, her father passes away in a tragic accident. Although loving and caring, Roya was not there to care for her father and before his death they had a falling out which was never resolved. Now ridden with guilt, you must traverse through different stages of grief Roya is experiencing, to reach the stage of acceptance and move on with your life. The player will have to complete specialised dreamlike puzzles through environment interaction and unnatural player controls.

Review:
I am surprised how well made this game was!
The switching of up and down was a little janky at times, but when you get past all of the disorientation you can easily manage. The overall gameplay was fun and immersive. The puzzles were not too hard, but forced you to stop and think, and then comes the contrast where intense time limits are added. I makes for diverse and fun gameplay.
The story is simple, but very effective as i allows the player to follow along and empathize with the characters. I liked the hints about what happened very much, but I can not help but wonder, what was the key for? I did not quite catch that.
Graphics were good, audio too, but I am mostly impressed by the great performance considering the constant changing of gravity. Awesome!
Great work, I will be looking forward to your future projects!
