I have had the idea for this game for a long time, it has gone through various story lines all revolving around a similar idea. The key element is dealing with mental illness and how society has treated those that suffer. Recordings in game were pulled directly from the 1979 film "Anyplace but here", I recommend watching this documentary, while from a time that had much less understanding of mental illness it still stands as a pivotal point for understanding those that suffer directly and their families.
I hope you enjoy this experience, that so far is my most proud and meaningful piece.

I really like the concept of the game, it works fittingly well how the repeated rooms and gradual destruction of the place represents the mental issue the main character has. It has a lot of meaning behind it and was a pleasure to play, it makes you think about it. I really like the graphic and sound design, however there could be a better solution than playing the same scream repeatedly and cycling through funky colors.. maybe vision blur? more hallucinations? Anyway great fundamental work which rrally captures the "psychological horror" genre!
thankyou for the playthrough!

wow i'm impressed by the graphics of this demo, but i'd really like to see a full game based on this king of graphics.
Very nice playthrough!
Glad you enjoyed it! I have plans to continue the Psylocybin title, more of a chronology with differing stories based in a similar vein.
Thankyou for playing!
like i said, love the graphics, thank you for this gem. One thing(bug) that i found. Be careful with the Auto exposure feature (eye adaptation to light) in UE5 in some dark rooms it gets completely dark.
