Psychroma is a narrative-driven side-scroller where you play as a digital medium. Confront the past by piecing together the broken memories of a cybernetic house, and exorcise the ghosts in the machine.

Investigate a haunted cybernetic house as a drifter with the ability to experience nonlinear time.

Regain your own memory of what brought you here and find out how to break the loop.

Uncover the events of a harrowing psychological experiment gone wrong through fragmented memories.

Acid rain rots away exposed rebar in the half-developed megacity once known as Toronto. Humanity modifies itself at a frequency never seen before. A housing crisis not only endangers the market, but the displaced and unhoused. One dilapidated house, only referred to as The Commons, is the the center of our story. What was once meant to be a safe haven has turned against every occupant to have dwelled within.

You can’t remember how you got here, and you are trapped inside. You must use a strange deck of memory cards holding the recorded memories of the past and present residents to manipulate time and navigate the house.

Exorcise the poltergeists that have taken over the house, descramble digital memories, free your trapped ally, and make it out with your mind intact.

Use a cybernetic memory card system to navigate through time. Gain the perspective of others’ stored memories. Gain access to new parts of the house.

Allow the digital ghosts of the past to possess your body in order to descramble memories, solve puzzles, and see through their perspectives.

Use an interactive Ouija system to speak with ghosts and gather info that would otherwise be hidden.

Perform surgical procedures to help stabilize injured victims.
