❤ Innovative Face Control Mechanics

The core gameplay mechanic allows players to manually manipulate the protagonist William's facial features - including his mouth, eyes, brows, and other elements. A neural network analyzes these intricate facial expressions and translates them into in-game responses, directly impacting the narrative. Players must carefully construct William's emotional reactions to influence the story's branching paths.

❤ Nonlinear Storytelling and Multiple Endings

The game's narrative is highly nonlinear, with over 15 unique endings for players to discover. Choices and facial expressions during key moments send the story branching off in different directions. Revisiting prior events and trying alternative approaches is essential to uncover new information, locations, and conclusions to the overarching mystery.

❤ Immersive Exploration and Environmental Storytelling

Between narrative sequences, players navigate the game's surreal, dream-like environments using classic point-and-click exploration. These richly detailed spaces provide additional context and lore through environmental storytelling. Thoroughly examining the surroundings, interacting with objects, and uncovering clues builds anticipation and dread for the next narrative revelation.

❤ Blending Fiction and Reality

The experience extends beyond the core gameplay loop, incorporating meta-narrative and Alternate Reality Game (ARG) elements. This includes downloading supplemental DLC, accessing external websites, and engaging with real-world documents. Solving these puzzles and uncovering hidden connections is crucial for fully unraveling the game's multilayered story, blurring the lines between fiction and reality.
