Our take on Pieces of me
Its defining choice is a short walking-simulator format that uses exploration of deserted places, rather than combat or jump scares, to reveal a psychological story.
What is Pieces of me?
This 90-minute psychological thriller-drama follows Grisha as he returns to his childhood town in 2009 to visit his younger sister.
The game uses a walking-simulator structure centered on exploration, atmosphere, and narrative rather than jump scares. Players move through deserted streets and school corridors, examine abandoned notes, and connect fragments of the present with memories of the past. Comic-style passages and a live-action scene with real actors form part of the story. Its themes include loneliness, guilt, and family bonds, presented through a 2000s-inspired visual style and an atmospheric soundscape. The game is a spin-off of September 7th and includes a warning about possible photosensitive epileptic seizures caused by flashing lights and images.
