About This Game

A tourist's ordinary day in Stratford-upon-Avon takes a surreal turn when a seemingly innocent transaction with three enigmatic shopkeepers goes sideways. Upon leaving their establishment, the visitor finds themselves trapped in a twisted version of the town now inhabited by figures pulled straight from Shakespeare's most famous works. Survival becomes the immediate challenge as the player navigates through shifting seasons and encounters with malevolent forces, all while desperately searching for a passage back to reality.
