The Residual

The Residual is a short, minimalist narrative platformer set in a broken, dreamlike world. You wake with no memory of who you are, where you are or why you are there. An unknown operator offers to guide you out but refuses to explain the place.

Fragmented memories

You move through fragmented levels connected by portals as pieces of memory return: loneliness, a mysterious woman and the name of a company called Dreamscape. The story unfolds through sparse text and environmental mood, with two narrative voices: your own thoughts and the unknown operator. It explores memory, loneliness, love and uncertain reality, and ends with a choice.

A short experience

The minimalist 2D platforming experience takes around 20–30 minutes. Its story is intentionally unresolved.
