Painless
A downloadable puzzle-platformer for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Painless is a puzzle platformer with a unique-twist: you're health is always depleting, and movement only makes this worse. As the player, you must consider how to solve puzzles quickly, using that momentum to reach the next "safe-zone".
You play as the Heart, challenging the complexities of
Heartbreak,
Grief,
and Defense Mechanisms.
We've all been there. We've all lost something. We've all experienced our own journey through these stages. This game is a symbolic representation of that journey, as the mind and the heart learn to cope with grief.
The Heart
Denial
Anger
Depression
This puzzling story will have you seeking numbed nerves to restore their feeling. The Brain guides you along in his own sarcastic and equally puzzling manner.
The more you run and jump, the quicker your heart-rate,and the faster you lose blood. Without blood, you die, the nerves stay numb and the brain, well, he's just disappointed.
Why is the Heart repairing nerves?
Why are they numb?
What's with the Tombstones?
Who is this gray, cry-smiling blob, and what does it have to do with everything?
What about the other creatures?
Hopefully, this painless journey through grief will answer these questions.
Then again, maybe it won't...
