Our take on Katharsis
The defining structure is a first-person search for milk in which player choices lead to several endings, with none presented as the definitive conclusion.
What is Katharsis?
Katharsis is a surreal first-person exploration game built around a simple goal: finding milk.
The journey includes choices and straightforward puzzles, with decisions guiding the story toward one of several endings. Each ending contributes part of the game's central message rather than serving as a definitive conclusion. The protagonist's pursuit frames the search as an example of fixation and goal-directed behavior, whether the objective seems important or absurd. Exploration, questions, and obstacles shape the path, while the different conclusions collectively form the game's complete experience.
