Fail Fail Succeed

Fail Fail Succeed is a puzzle platformer set in a dream-like dimension with no clear way out. A woman guides you forward through deadly traps, and your only real ability is to fail. Mysterious orbs let you leave fragments of yourself behind; these fragments can become barriers against hazards or platforms that help you progress.

Puzzles and progress

The game has more than 40 handcrafted levels, with puzzles built around consistent logical systems. Failure is unavoidable: you learn from each attempt, find new possibilities and adapt your approach. Fast resets let you experiment and try again.

Story and companionship

The game has no spoken or written dialogue; it conveys meaning through visuals and gameplay. You can choose between multiple dogs to accompany you as a guide and a source of comfort and motivation in the bleak world.

The game’s mechanics draw on the developer’s experience of cycles of manic highs and depressive lows. Failure represents an inevitable outcome, while the traces left behind represent progress; the dogs reflect the comfort of companionship amid exhausting repetition.
