Penrose (Playdate) by whyfie

In the town of Penrose, nothing is as it seems.
Face eldritch giants, encounter sentient malls, explore hidden catacombs, and piece together who you were, are, and want to be.

Penrose is a Game Boy/flash era-style horror game about memory, identity, and finding your way out. Now available for Playdate, with the option to play on PC, Mac, Linux, or web browser.
