visions

STORY

"i must give you a vision."

plagued by the constant concern of not being good enough to be saved, XXXXX keeps trying to earn her salvation by working on her "flaws". afraid of anything that could give her even more distress, she attempts to erase everything that makes her unique, but for some reason, the more she closes her eyes, the more she sees.

FEATURES

- one (1) very traumatized child trying to be good (around 7400 words)

- a sarcastic pastor, a belittling mother and an absent father all corrupted by the static

- one (1) guardian angel that seems to know more than what they say

- a scary looking god

- my wonderful voice narrating a few sections

- eerie liminal spaces for you to explore in point-and-click sections!

- atmospheric ambience for a feeling of emptiness and alienation (headphones recommended)

- light tv static all throughout the gameplay (it's analog horror, after all...)

WARNINGS

- the game is heavily centered around traumatic experiences with protestantism/christianity from the point of view of a child

- it depicts toxic family dynamics between mother and child

- portrays scrupulosity (religious ocd) 

- contains portrayals of heavy depression, anxiety and self-loathing

- very brief lgbtphobia

- it doesn't have jumpscares! it's mostly psychological horror
