Overview
[FRENCH & ENGLISH LOCALISATION]
The game is a first person storytelling game which I hope will reflect your personal thoughts.
The game lasts around 5 minutes, so I don't want to say too much about the story and prefer you to experience the whole thing in one fell swoop.
Through this game, I want the players to think about what they really want in life and give them courage to achieve it. Starting with no skills in video game design, I learned everything on my own for this personal project. This game has a particular emotional value for me, having been inspired by my own experiences, and is representative of what I want to bring to the world of video games.
Thank you for taking the time to try my game, it is very valuable to me.

Amazing Game, deep meanings and it reminds you that only you who should have control over your life
You might not see this as an entertainment game but as a game game that tackles your thought about your future.
I tried this game without having the context and I was happy that it challenged my actual life status about what I like and what I want to do, great experience I very recommend!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. :)
Well this game is awsome, seems like Act II is really well made. Love it
I had problems with the second room. Where you get the ability to use A and D to move, took me a while to figure out what to do.
Hello and thank you for your kind comment ! :)
Indeed, in the second room, when you don't have any goal in life, it is difficult to regain control over yourself (commands) and create new meanings around you. But you succeded !
