Os personagens de Glitch Escape enfrentam realidades em colapso, presos em um reino astral por um antagonista que se recusa a despertar. O protagonista encara esse inimigo - uma versão distorcida de si mesmo - para salvar os outros de linhas de mundo paralelas. Inspirado em paralisia do sono e teorias de projeção astral, este adventure indie mergulha nas lutas contra medos metafísicos.
Criado por 16 estudantes de games da UCSC, o jogo free-to-play para PC envolve os jogadores em uma narrativa sobre confrontar demônios internos para se libertar. Ideal para fãs de adventure com temas psicológicos e embates que desafiam a realidade.
This game was originally inspired by sleep paralysis and the metaphysical theories surrounding astral projection being one of the gateways to high dimensions. The game tells a story about characters who struggle with their reality and falls victim to an antagonist who wants to keep them forever in the "astral realm". The protagonist must face their fear, the antagonist: a version of themself that does not want to wake up, in order to save the others (who are also versions of them from other world lines).
The game was made by 16 UCSC students from the games department.
