Description

I was in a strange old building, seemed like a warehouse-turned-fleamarket. It seemed really big even though I only remember a few rooms. Most of it was spent in a room with a few supposed B-movie stars in a trashed room. We were watching a few VHS movies in enromous boxes. I got them from the market area of the building, which took up most of the rooms I visited. Some of which were really cheap and had obscured psychadelic-feeling art. One was $800 and I felt like I remembered the movie, like it was something I had wanted for a long time. It was in a large black box apart from the rest, with neon brush-marks. I couldnโ€™t afford it though. One of the B-movie stars was a head with his skeleton hanging out and a few organs. I was probably thinking of a leyak? I donโ€™t remember much about the movie but it was focused on rainbow goop, kind of like Street Trash I guess. Each room had a large window, but they were closed so I could only see because there were dim-lit lights some places.

How to Play

WASD - Move
Left Click - Activate, Drag
Esc - Unlock the cursor

Try putting things different places, clicking different things, etc. The alchemy room in the back-left is a good starting place.

Finally made controls better after all these months! Hopefully for those who had problems earlier, or those just now playing, it will be more enjoyable.

Reached a room with what looked like a coffin, guessing that was an end state? Kinda cool in a surreal way but Unity's FPS system is super frustrating. I liked the sound.

Yeah, that's one of the "end points". It's kind of dependent on various things but that's pretty much it. Thanks by the way, I should've tried a bit harder on the controls and the FPS system makes it pretty hard regardless, but I'm glad you enjoyed (some of) it.
