A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

You are James. You've always been mostly a normal kid. You grew up into a normal life, with a normal job, then, suddenly, one day, you break down. You become trapped in a maze of convoluded thoughts and memories, and for some reason, you remember fragments of your old diary you kept up until a few years ago.

Find all the pages and find your way out of the labyrinth before you get consumed by your inner demons and become... a monster.

This game is very short and was made for the Ludum Dare 33 "Compo" game jam. I originally thought I had 72 hours, but realized I only had 48 due to plans, so I made this. :)

I'm quite proud of it. It's my first game that has a beginning, end, and story, albeit very short ones.

The game has almost no replayability: the map and notes are the same every time. :\
