Spiral is a third-person narratively driven exploration game sharing a poetic vision of cognitive degeneration seen from the inside.

It tells the story of Bernard, a man who wishes goodbye one last time to the memories that built him from his early childhood to who he is today. You accompany him on this journey, bearing witness to his life and remembering for him as his mind slowly unravels into the void.

Throughout the game, Bernard's disease is not directly addressed. However, it will be felt in every aspect of the game. As his mind slowly fades away, so do his surroundings. More and more pieces will be missing as the environment slowly collapses around him. The Void that was at first only lurking at the edge of his memories will seep in and take over the memories the player visits as they accompany him in those challenges.

That degradation will also impact the aspects outside the game world. This includes in-game menus, save files, level of completion, etc. Extending the impact of the disease to the players themselves.

While the core of the game centers around exploration as the player ventures through Bernard's memories, finding pieces of his past, some of them will also include mechanics especially tailored to the events of that memory. Our goal is to enhance the experience and uniqueness of that time in Bernard's life as well as help the player connect with him by sharing his actions.
