Science used to be your purpose, but now it is your prison.

Trapped in a distorted version of your lab, shaped by the quiet, unseen struggles of scientific research, you must find your way out. Battle with lab-inspired tools and science-themed companions in light 2D combat! As in science, the way forward isn’t always a choice.

• A short narrative journey with an emotional, introspective tone

• 2D combat using lab equipment and science-inspired companions

• Rooted in the lived experience of someone who's been through the ups and downs of research

Alright. Deep breaths. Let’s find the way out of here. I’ve got loads of experiments waiting for me back in the real world.

Researcher's log

I started this game while unemployed, after moving to a new country, and decided to finish it after settling into a new job in a lab. It’s inspired by the quieter, often unspoken stories behind scientific research. I hope the game resonates with you, even just a little bit, whether you're in the lab, playing for the story, or just finding your way forward.
