Description

The Gap tells a story of one man’s struggle to find a cure for his family’s illness through the exploration of parallel realities which include memories dear to his heart, forcing him to dive deeper into his psyche.

Joshua Hayes is a neuroscientist, whose family is affected by a rare neurological disorder that slowly eats away at one’s capability and mental well-being. The struggle and fight of the family is witnessed through the lens of his highest and lowest moments. While exploring the raw, minimalist spaces, he comes across items that act as gateways to his past.

Moreover, while taking part in an experimental neuroscientific program, led by a biotech giant - Neuraxis, Joshua unknowingly finds himself entangled in a corporate intrigue.

In hopes of unraveling the web of memories, he’ll need to face a distressing question - can he really trust himself?

It's kinda of a "Immortality" but shorter: you discover the story part by part as you travel through the game. It is a short game but that's great, because you are able to know everything in one sit. I loved the story,

Fun story game by Slovenian devs! Piecing together the different timelines and speculating on what part of the narration is unrealiable was pretty satisfying. I could have done with a bit more flavor and spice in the

This is a rare piece of science fiction where the human elements far outshine the sci-fi elements, and that is saying a lot, because the sci-fi parts of this game are extremely good. The nonlinear story that they tell
