About This Game

The Gap tells a story of one man’s struggle to find a cure for his family’s illness through the exploration of parallel realities which include memories dear to his heart, forcing him to dive deeper into his psyche.

Joshua Hayes is a neuroscientist, whose family is affected by a rare neurological disorder that slowly eats away at one’s capability and mental well-being. The struggle and fight of the family is witnessed through the lens of his highest and lowest moments. While exploring the raw, minimalist spaces, he comes across items that act as gateways to his past.

Moreover, while taking part in an experimental neuroscientific program, led by a biotech giant - Neuraxis, Joshua unknowingly finds himself entangled in a corporate intrigue.

In hopes of unraveling the web of memories, he’ll need to face a distressing question - can he really trust himself?

This is a really beautiful and sad story. You have to piece together different memories that exist across multiple realities and different points in time, but it was all tied together so well that it felt really intuitive. It's a lovely way to spend an evening.

This game is so frigging bland, all of it: characters, locations, the story. For all pumpkin latte fans out there.

Probably the best find I encountered in years. It's always the fucking indie games man. Always.

I'll happily admit that I'm a narrative first game player. I'm here for the story--but that doesn't mean I don't want a game to be interesting (looking at you, pure walking sims). For me, The Gap had a solid mix of what I like. It was interactive and puzzling enough that I wanted to keep going, I wanted to understand the story, I wanted to keep discovering things. You're dropped in pretty blind. I don't really remember the beginning exposition so I'm going to assume that it was pretty limited. You get some basic (BASIC) idea that you're looking for...stuff...and then you start discovering how to move around and what these things mean. I'm not a fast game player (I like to find all the stuff and I don't like to use help unless I have to) and I finished it in a few hours. Overall, very pretty, very interesting, pretty unique. Enjoy!

Story punched me in the gut like I've never felt. 10/10

This is a great game, the story strings along through different points in time, and makes it like your piecing together your memories in order to understand what happened in the main characters life. The puzzles are interesting as well and actually bit difficult at times.
