An introspective exploration of the human condition conveyed through the work of a taxidermist. Your knowledge will be the blade with which to explore depths once stitched shut. A reinterpretation of the MetroidBrainia genre, where puzzles and perception intertwine with the eternity of flesh.
A Love Where Time Stands StillYou will play as Blake Stanley, a wandering taxidermist specializing in anatomy, enamored with the idea of crystallizing flesh within a glass case, where the ephemeral cannot reach it.
Death cannot touch a body incapable of decay.
His poetic obsession takes shape through a series of performances in which he displays the fruits of his work, accompanied by his carriage, where time itself seems to stand still.
Perhaps, to accept mortality, he must first visualize it.
But one thing is clear to anyone who observes: what encompasses existence is not the object of his fascination. Rather, it is the boundary that separates its defining features.
Yet enchantment is a swift and powerful weapon, and Blake will discover its contours after meeting a wealthy patron willing to offer him a space within his mansion, where he can bring new creations to life.
For the first time, Blake will capture a breath. But will he be able to restrain an impulse he does not recognize?
Non-Linear ExplorationExplore numerous environments built around MetroidBrainia mechanics, where your knowledge will be the key to progression and to piecing together the fragments that shape the narrative.
A Door to the UnknownWhich doors will shape your journey?
Your path will lead you through events set across different periods of time, each containing information needed to reconstruct the chronology of your journey. But it will be up to you to decide which path to take first.
The doors seem to pulse with a life of their own. Could they be trying to communicate?
What lies within must remain hidden from sight. Yet rising to the surface is the only way to dissect oneself.
