The Enigma of Mr. X

Emily's brother is missing, she's succumbing to various addictions, and can't seem to escape her broken home. The nightmares started about a month ago. Maybe today is the day she can turn it all around? The Enigma of Mr. X is a fully voiced character driven side-scrolling psychological horror adventure involving nightmares, missing persons, and dysfunctional relationships, featuring an immersive soundtrack, mostly meaningless choices, existential dread, a ridiculous breakfast order, raw sweet corn, a drunk dad, run-on sentences, and a sweet lil kitty cat.

Content Warning: This game contains themes of depression, drug usage, and mental abuse. Includes adult language, disturbing audio and visuals, and representations of violence.

Notes:

-Interactions marked with ">>>" move to next scene

-Recommend headphones and desktop version for best experience

-Takes about 30-45 minutes to complete, no save system sorry

-There's a weird bug I haven't found a fix for yet. If you press Esc while a choice is available, you will have to use the mouse to select that choice, the keyboard selection should work fine after.
