Menticide

Menticide is an endless runner about a man having a mental breakdown as he tries to escape his own mind, only to run deeper into it. You play as his protector, moving him around and drawing lines to defend him from enemies that may or may not be real. The game is an analogy for mental health: you cannot win, but you can try to beat your previous score. A global leaderboard lets you compete with players anywhere.

Protect him

Move left and right while drawing lines to block enemies’ line of sight, bounce projectiles away, stop the iron maiden from growing spikes and pick up additional health. Drawing uses a meter that refills over time. If it runs out, you cannot draw again until it has refilled completely.

Trees slow you down and allow the hands to catch up. You can regain speed by sliding along a wall.
