Residuation

About this game
You play as Martin Kaminsky, an ordinary journalist working for a small local newspaper, who finds himself isolated following the outbreak of an unknown disease. His apartment becomes both a refuge and a place where increasingly inexplicable things begin to happen.
With each passing day, the strange events become harder to ignore. Television news reports reveal the spread of the disease and the introduction of new restrictions. Familiar objects begin to take on new meanings, while the line between memories, fears, and reality gradually becomes less and less clear.



Explore Familiar Surroundings
Explore your surroundings, interact with objects, and pay attention to changes that may not be obvious at first glance. What initially seems like an ordinary everyday detail may eventually become part of a story you must piece together.
The objects you discover, Martin's thoughts, and the strange events unfolding around him gradually connect, revealing new pieces of the mystery.



Words and Actions Have Consequences
Dialogue is more than just a way to gather information. Your answers may be remembered, and things you said earlier may come back to haunt you.
But words are not the only things that matter. Your actions also have consequences. They can change how others perceive Martin, trigger new events, or influence how the story unfolds.



Martin's State of Mind
Melancholy gradually builds, putting increasing pressure on Martin, while his ability to maintain Control limits how many important actions he can take.
Objects, conversations, and events may help him cope with one problem while making another worse.



Experience Each Day Your Own Way
Time in Residuation is divided into different phases of the day. Events come and go. Some things can only be discovered at certain moments.
Some things can wait. Others may be missed forever.



The Boundary of Perception
Residuation is a story about isolation and loneliness, intrusive thoughts and unresolved experiences, collective fear and its consequences.
And about just how thin the line can be between what happens within us and what we accept as reality.
