SHUT IN is a short dark comedy/psychological horror adventure game which explores depression and isolation by trapping you inside your own house.

Explore a hostile home, solve puzzles, and withstand sarcasm from a rude and unreliable narrator. Idiot.

“I’ve never felt more unintentionally seen by a video game before.

If you’re looking for a commentary on the effects of the pandemic on an already fragile psyche,
SHUT IN just might be up your alley.”

- HeyPoorPlayer

“The ideal game for a Halloween in lockdown.

SHUT IN does an excellent job of illustrating, in a tangible way, some of the everyday struggles often faced by those with mental health problems."

- IndieHive

“This is a masterpiece that will pave the way for conversation and education.

As someone who has had depression for 20+ years, I can safely say I have NEVER felt so represented and validated by a game."

- KikyoPhoenix

“Dark, funny, quick and entertaining. Easy to recommend!

“Shut In is making a point, and it’s doing so very effectively.”

- NinjaRefinery

“This is one that hits home for me."
