It’s a terrifying thought to not be able to remember the events of a night. What if you had the ability to dive into your vivid imagination and try to uncover the truth?
It won’t be an easy task, and you may not like what you uncover, in the unsettling first-person mystery adventure 103.
Having a wild imagination can be a blessing and a curse. You can conjure up beautiful landscapes and scenarios, or be haunted by horrific images in the middle of the night. For Lily, it is a shelter from the storms of her life, creating a home in the mind. When an accident sends her there unbidden, though, and now she must piece together clues lying around her imaginary home to find out why.
You will have to become a detective of sorts in 103, taking in every clue the game throws at you while trying not to get too overwhelmed by the imagery of Lily’s imagination. Some of the item clues may be a little more straight-forward than others (like written messages), but others will require you to piece together riddles and puzzles. Unlocking memories will help you unravel the grand puzzle: What is the significance of 103, and what happened on the night that changed Lily’s life forever?
103 offers an intricate look into a damaged psyche through a world born in the mind. You’ll want to look into everything twice, because it’s amazing how many little things you may miss that help illustrate Lily’s subconscious. See if you can find all the little clues and appreciate this masterful atmospheric design.
103 is available on Itch.io and Steam.
