Therapist Dr. Anna Atsuko and engineer Bill Pentecost have devoted their lives to their own, special invention - the MC-420, a machine that helps people remember long-forgotten happy memories, granting them some much-needed reprieve from the harshness of the world.

Soon after Anna begins using the new machine however, things start to go wrong - before long, she's not quite the same...

@Phigames Hi, I don't know if you are still active, but I have a bug report. :)

This game seems to freeze on the screen saying about leading Mrs Wickerman into the room.

Debug screen I got with F9(I think?): https://imgur.com/a/AMblxfS

Thanks for a game, in any case! :)
