Side Effects Core Gameplay

Play Side Effects to discover an intriguing, emotional, and mysterious game where every choice matters. Dive into a thoughtful psychological experience with a subtle sense of suspense.

This isn’t just a typical horror game; it takes you somewhere unusual, where you play as someone trying to get through the day, but things aren’t always straightforward. You explore what’s happening inside your character’s mind more than any outside threat. Your character wakes up, takes their medication, goes to work, and interacts with others. These everyday activities feel a little different from what others experience. Each day, you follow your routine, but sometimes it’s hard to keep everything in balance. Some things feel real, while others seem a bit uncertain.
