One surreal morning, Colin’s apartment door disappears just as he is getting ready for his monotonous job. The apartment turns into a chaotic labyrinth and some inexplicable phenomena shake Colin’s worldview. A cryptic message written on the bathroom mirror, a mysterious puppet in his bedroom, and some emotional challenges terrify Colin. New visitors constantly appear, making Colin question his past, present and future. Will Colin discover a new meaning to his life? Or was it all just a bizarre dream?(Storyline via IGDB)
