THE CURATOR

COLLECT OR... WAIT

A voice asks you to collect. Will you obey?

Enter a white room. Letho, the Curator, invites you to collect colored objects. Simple, right?

But the game watches everything: what you collect, what you ignore, how long you hesitate. Your behavior shapes Letho's reactions, from encouragement to desperation to something darker.

A short & slow (10-20 min) meta-narrative experience inspired by The Stanley Parable. It questions why we follow instructions in games, and what happens when we don't.
