When I finish one game shortly before a big new release, I try to fill the spare day or two with a short game or two. That's how I ended up playing The Gap. It's sort of a hybrid of a walking sim (or narrative exploration game) and a puzzle game, but really leans into the walking sim part in the final act. It's what leads up to it that I found most interesting. Hopefully without spoiling anything here, it's a game about loss, mental illness (maybe), futuristic brain nano-tech, parallel realities, obsession, relationships, life-threatening disease, and cognitive decline. Gameplay involves exploring various scenes to find items/clues that link memories together in an Inception sort of way, often with some series of actions needed to "solve" each scene. I'm not sure I fully "got it" but I liked it.

Excellent intelligent game with constant emotional tension-reminds me of SOMA in ways. Well worth the time to play, it is a breath of fresh air and very well done. The story is very well crafted and the emotional impact stays with you after the game. This dev crew put a lot into this game, Im looking forward to more similarly themed games from them.
