LetMeOut

LetMeOut is a puzzle-survival game set in the memories of Bundy, a scholar researching a cure for his wife Julia’s dementia. His work involves extracting electrical signals from neurons in living people, and you may be one of his test subjects. To escape, you must solve the puzzles Bundy has prepared and recover your mind and memories from the layers of the past he shared with Julia.

Bundy’s research

Bundy studied dolls with artificial nerves as a way to preserve memories for long periods. He recruited outstanding scholars from various fields to his academy to treat his wife, then tested whether they had developed memories and brains. The research raises questions about whether a human subject is body or mind, whether the mind is memory or something like a soul that creates thoughts, and what happens if someone else can take it.

Five stages

You progress through five stages, each set in a different place within Bundy’s memories. Find items that help you escape each test subject, solve puzzles and gimmicks, and evade subject tracking. The stages also include past images in the form of electrical signals.

Puzzles and threats

The puzzles include chess, which Bundy enjoyed playing with Julia, as well as challenges involving complicated hospital facilities and locked doors. You must also run from Julia’s symptoms, attacks by the test subjects and Bundy’s memories of the past.
