Spil Shrinking Pains

Om dette spil

Did your ceiling always look like that?

Your vision peels at the edges, folding in. Everything is white, empty. You spend a day seeing how many coins you can fit into the hollows above your collarbones.

You wonder how long it will take until there is nothing left of you to touch.
