Drowse

Drowse is a first-person psychological horror game set in the 1990s. You play as Andrew, who is grieving the loss of his dog, Oxmo, while work fills his days and his apartment feels empty. When a coworker asks him to return to the office to pick up documents and make copies, an ordinary evening turns into a personal nightmare.

The office after hours

You move through quiet offices and familiar rooms, carrying out everyday tasks such as turning on the computer, making coffee and finding paper for the copier. Small disturbances—a ringing phone, an unexpected sound or something that looks different than you remember—make the surroundings increasingly difficult to understand.

Investigate and solve puzzles

You search drawers, inspect objects, read forgotten notes and listen to recorded messages. Documents, photographs, personal belongings and encounters reveal fragments of Andrew’s life. You find clues, work out codes and use objects you discover to open the way forward.

Grief and memory

As familiar places give way to distorted memories, the story explores grief, loneliness and the struggle to move forward. Andrew’s bond with Oxmo remains at its heart, while the things left behind offer both comfort and difficult truths.
