The Gap is a narrative-driven psychological adventure that explores memory, loss, and identity through a deeply personal lens. Players take on the role of Joshua Hayes, a neuroscientist struggling with a degenerative brain disorder that affects his perception of reality. As his memories begin to fracture, players must navigate shifting environments that blur the line between past and present.
Gameplay combines exploration, light puzzles, and investigative elements focused on uncovering fragments of Joshua’s life. Players move through distorted versions of familiar locations, piecing together memories to understand both the protagonist’s condition and the events that shaped him. There is no traditional combat; tension comes from atmosphere, sound design, and the unsettling instability of the world itself.
The game’s visual presentation uses stark contrasts and surreal transitions to represent mental decay, while its audio design reinforces emotional weight and disorientation. The Gap is best suited for players who enjoy introspective storytelling, psychological themes, and narrative experiences that prioritize emotion and interpretation over action.
