T.W.I.R.L.

T.W.I.R.L. is an abstract narrative horror game about self-worth, growing up in 2006 and keeping a secret for life. You are nine years old in a dark house lit by moonlight, your alarm clock and the red glow of your turned-off PS3. You sneak out of your room while someone sleeps nearby, unsure whether they might hear you. The main story takes about an hour.

Explore the house

You play in first person without a HUD, using simple controls to move, interact and “look.” The story follows a childhood act that seems innocent, alongside thoughts, hopes and nightmares, and the possibility that another day or year will pass and no one will remember what happened. One warning stands out: if you are asked to look at yourself, don’t.

Secrets and endings

The game includes hidden Easter eggs, with something new to discover each time, and multiple endings, including a special secret ending. You can also pet a cat.

Controls and feedback

The game supports controllers with haptic feedback.
