Hi guys,

I got this Pico-8 game in a random lot on eBay. I couldn’t find it in any of the classic Pico-8 game guides, so it’s probably a bootleg.

I ripped the ROM (since my old Pico-8 system hasn’t worked in ages), and I figured I’d share it here since one of you guys must know about these obscure cartridges. I can’t tell if it the game is corrupted or if that’s how it’s meant to be.

Enjoy! Multiple endings, surrealist horror, and a bumping soundtrack.

I have no idea what just happened.

Does pico8 actually have a physical system or cartridges?

sadly, no.

everything in the description is fiction!

Cool idea with an ace aesthetic. Had a lot of fun playing this.

Thanks for playing!

I don't quite know what's going on in this game, and I suppose that's the point.

I thought the sections with the two different starts and noclipping were really interesting. However, I can't tell which endings are the "good" endings. The least corrupted looking one was still pretty glitchy looking, and ends with a weird softlock with the skull thing that follows you around.

Weird little game! I didn't manage to find all the endings (I think) but it was still suitably weird.

Thanks for playing! I love watching your exploration!
