Jugend

A game relying half on tactile. For playing, one puts a hand in the physical model box for wayfinding. Either the downloadable or the web-playing pieces are only the digital part of the game. It's still playable, but you might feel difficult or confused sometimes. The only tip I can give to you is: don't feel fear to walk into total darkness. (And maybe another one: the character won't stop the walking motion even if it's touching a wall.)

A version for Mac and for browser may be uploaded later.

***For the "button" mentioned in-game, you can use the left mouse as an alternative key. And that's the only need for using a mouse during the whole game.***

"Jugend" comes from "youth" in German. "The transition of the youth from their ideal life into civil society involves a painful process of adaptation punctuated by crises." Overall, it was a refusal to walk through the narrows, and a failed, gambling experiment. The pioneer, her ideal was too much.
