Can you escape the structures of your own mind?
Brutalismus is a short, first-person experience where you’ll explore the decaying remains of the mind of a brutalist architect fractured by his own obsessions. In this psychological walking simulator, vast empty plazas, towering monolithic structures, and impossible corridors reflect the unraveling of a haunted mind.
As you move deeper, fragmented memories and scattered voices reveal a story of control, obsession, and madness. Concrete becomes both a symbol of power and a prison, as the boundaries between physical space and mental collapse dissolve.

Can you tell the difference between concrete reality and the ruins of the mind?
a very badly made game with undisclosed ai generated assets and incohesive message
As an architecture student I picked this game up expecting some deep messages and comments on brutalism, and coming out after 2 playthroughs I feel slightly disappointed. While it has some very good environments and awesome ideas about capitalism driving architecture to be choking and hateful towards its inhabitants and environment, the experience is a bit shallow when you take an outside look. This is unconfirmed, but looking through the backgrounds and textures many of them seem to be AI generated, which is laughable in a game commenting on the art of buildings. It is insulting to be told brutalism is bad and architecture as an art should shy away from it, and then use AI to undermine the very art you want to lift up. There are a few other problems like grammar and slight glitches, but these are easily looked past for a one man indie game project. On a positive note the 2 soundtrack artists are EXTREMELY good, and the building models are quite good while being minimalist. The act...
