Developer's Note:
This project had started in 2016. The main goal was to tell a story about "getting out" of a situation which makes you feel like "you are stuck". After countless brainstorming sessions, we decided that "a change of self" is needed in order the change the setting. With that in mind, my best friend and I started to make this game. I hope you guys like it.
