ABOUT THIS GAME
Wake paralyzed on a narrow ledge with rain hammering stone and glass, then recover movement in stages while reading a chain of physical clues: a dead bird's band, a burned fixture, a stubborn cigarette, a clogged drain, and contradictory graffiti. Craft a lockpick before the drop forces you into a hanging window sequence, then survive a five-question interrogation where interpretation matters as much as memory.
