A downloadable game for Windows

Summary
Elliot returns to House Hemels on doctor's orders: visiting her old place once more will help her put her bad dreams behind her once and for all. 
As she pieces together more of her memories she gains more power, but loses her sanity.  Maybe the doctor was not familiar with the popular wisdom "Ignorance is bliss".

Notes
This game was created as a submission to the GameOff 2022 Jam, with theme 'cliche`'.  We chose to play with the trite "Knowledge is power"  and "Ignorance is bliss" ideas as main themes in the game's narrative and mechanics, and we added a few classic tropes of lovecraftian horror and platforming games -feel free to write in the comments all the references you can catch :)

Gameplay information
Updated: the game now works with keyboard + mouse or with Gamepad (in-game instructions refer to XBox gamepad layouts).
