## About This Game
SHUT IN is a short dark comedy/psychological horror adventure game which
explores depression and isolation by trapping you inside your own house.

Your task is simple: Get out of bed, go outside, and get some Fresh Air.
Think you can handle that?

Oh, but it might not be quite that simple. Your house isn’t looking quite like
it used to. You don’t recognise any of these photos, everything’s gotten dirty
and disgusting, cracks seem to be opening up everywhere, and you’re SURE
everything didn’t used to be so… constantly trying to kill you.

Maybe it’s not worth it. Maybe go back to bed. Try again tomorrow.

If you do decide to keep going, you’ll have to face strange puzzles, bizarre
and uncomfortable obstacles, and a narrator who is unreliable at best, and
downright insulting at worst. You’ll have to get through your day under a
constant barrage of judgment, sarcasm, and melancholy. If you can cope with
that. Idiot.

SHUT IN is about tension and discomfort in a familiar environment. Your
greatest tools are also your worst enemies. Common sense will keep you alive,
but it might not get you very far. Curiosity can have great rewards, but will
probably just get you killed.

But don’t worry. When you (inevitably) die – because you fell down the stairs,
were too stupid to operate an oven properly, got ripped apart by untold
invisible horror, something like that – you can always just give up. Try again
tomorrow. Or the next day. Or the next day.

\–SHUT IN is a short game. It will take you 1-2 hours to experience
everything, depending how quick you are with puzzles.–
