Unhappening

About the Game

Core game loop and features:

• Solve physics-based puzzles with the help of man-made temporary companions, who will help Anethus push, pull, smash, carry and swing.

• Avoid the darkness and stay in the light - or die.

• Traverse the environment of Anethus' mind with highly-dynamic animations.
  

• A unique oil-painterly visual style, inspired by real-world artists like Zdzisław Beksiński
  

Anethus’ journey is a search for identity, purpose, and accountability. As a manifestation of a dying man’s fragmented memories, he moves through a collapsing world trying to understand who he is and what role he played in humanity’s destruction.

The world encapsulates a surreal ecosystem of machines, memories, and consequences — each carrying symbolic meaning.

Unhappening reflects reality through themes of extinction, false messiahs, and humanity’s impulse to build what it cannot control. It taps into loss, loneliness, guilt, and the fear of being forgotten.
