Iconotherapy

Horror puzzle narrative game

You are a regular Joe living a regular life. Got a mundane job, greets some of the neighbors daily on your way to said work, but there has always been this underlying anxiousness that you haven’t been able to shake off ever since you moved in. Sometimes you notice a movement in your sight's corner, other times it may be a low screech that creeps up during silent dawns.

You have tried to ignore and bury this for many years without sucess and after countless sleepless nights, you have decided to book a therapy session to vanquish this irrational fear that has haunted you for the past decades…
