Make your own way through the madness! I swear, they forced me to make this game! Help me! (distant mumbling and the sounds of struggle) ... Play time is about 10–20 minutes. I hope you will remember this experience for a long time. Two endings. The question is which of them is the worst. All the graphics and animations are handmade from plasticine.
