Shut In

[ola small dickie]

"This impressively atmospheric pixel art adventure about dealing with agoraphobia gets the most out of its confined environment and limited play time."



The Good:

Threatening atmosphere heightens tension
Excellent writing, with a narrator that berates you in a darkly comedic way
Compelling allegorical exploration of mental illness

The Bad:

Puzzles can sometimes be a little trial-and-error, leading to frequent deaths
Brief playtime leaves you wanting more

Our Verdict:

Shut In is a short but intensely atmospheric side-scrolling pixel art horror adventure that nicely builds dread, tension and intrigue whilst also cleverly exploring the everyday difficulties that living with depression and anxiety can bring.
