A little bird inside a cage It only sees the bars Trapped there by another's rage Accumulating scars
A lonely soul imprisoned Left lingering to rot Suffers tunnel vision Deadly and distraught...
Take control of Suoni V Linnet (choice of voice & pronouns) In this eerie, atmospheric, narrative-driven horror adventure made in 1 month for Spooktober VN Jam 2023.
Awakening in an empty room, paralysed from the waist down and accused of a crime they have no memory of committing, our protagonist hopes to escape the dire situation they seem to be in when it soon becomes apparent they are not alone.
Faced with an eccentric mask-wearing entity, an overly enthusiastic child, and a curious cat, Linnet must tread carefully with each interaction.
But when Linnet can't even trust their own mind, what hope do they have of attaining freedom? What price are they willing to pay for it? And what sort of world exists on the outside?
Your choices will impact more than just Linnet's fate.
Help Linnet discover the truth, who they can trust, and perhaps even a little companionship along the way.

I personally don't own a Mac, so I can't even test my Mac builds (or Linux ones, for that matter!) but over the years, various Mac users have helped me to compile a list of suggestions on how to get itch.io games for Mac working :3 You can find that list in a text document within the game download folder, or you can view it in this post here.
The most common solution seems to be to download the itch.io app and launch all itch games via that :3
