Story: You're in purgatory. You have to get out, and it's everywhere...watching. You've found a key. It has to go to a door, right? Right? Right!?

Gameplay: Very simple. This game is 3D first person like Doom. The color scheme is simple: black walls, white floor and smiley face, red smiley that watches and promises to kill you. They're hand drawn smiley faces so they get bonus points for being creepy. You are in purgatory so this game is actually pretty deliberately repetitive: you are repeatedly not finding the door, you are repeatedly seeing white and red smiley faces everywhere, one of those red smiley faces is repeatedly chasing you, it is repeatedly hunting you down like a dog and repeatedly killing you and you are repeatedly having to start over. The game really feels like a visual representation of pure, unfiltered insanity. No, you can't kill the smiley face. All you can do is run, but that doesn't do much good. You usually don't see him until he's almost on top of you.

Graphics: There's not much to say here. The walls and ceiling are black and featureless except for the smiley faces drawn all over it and the floor is white and featureless. There's a door graphic and a hand drawn gold key. That's about it. The graphics didn't exactly take a lot of effort, but the effect is profound. You become obsessed with finding the way out.
