About Headache: Altered States
Headache: Altered States is an adventure game about a writer who takes the fictional hallucinogenic substance Nix to find ideas for a book. Across seven days, you alternate between the real world and surreal worlds shaped by the drug.
The story
As the protagonist uses Nix, she comes to realize that the substance and her inner struggles are slowly destroying her. She decides to quit the drug and change her life.
Find ideas
In the surreal worlds, you explore areas filled with enemies, secrets and side activities. Your goal is to find one idea for the book during each session. Ideas lie behind tall wooden doors marked with a book-shaped lock; after you find one, play returns to the real world.
