About This Game

Just as Faye and Rich’s painful memories resurface, the two friends are ensnared in the distorted corridors of a decrepit subway station beneath a city still foreign to Faye. To find any path through, they need to decipher all that they have so desperately tried to forget.

Illustration and Reflection

Discover and illustrate meaningful objects and people to decipher Faye’s history.

Living Memories

Explore living memories of Faye and Rich’s past as they manifest around the stations.

Choice and Change

Forge a new relationship between Faye and Rich as they collide with their hidden traumas and recent frictions.

Dissipation of Agency

Navigate Faye’s anxieties as distance between her and Rich propagates greater dangers around the station.

Close-up Clues

Interact with objects and structures more intimately to decipher their connection to Faye’s past, or the distortion of the station.

Face the past—it’s the only way forward.
