About the Story

Surreal point-and-click exploration game inspired by Yume Nikki. 100+ rooms, a few mostly optional puzzles, and minimal text. Meant to be unsettling. No jumpscares.

Instructions: Click arrows to move and items to interact with them. Collect diary pages.

Weirdcore dreams, July 2, 2024

The Invisible Smoke Factory is a surreal exploration of very weird dreams, made in Twine. In a more point-n-click form, you explore different space trying to collect 11 different pieces of paper scattered around the 100+ rooms. There are multiple endings, but I’ve only gone through one.
Between the dithered backgrounds, uncomfortable background music, and the unsettling animated elements, the game really pushes the boundaries of what IF can look like, through removing as many words as possible.

I am not sure how to explain this experience, actually. It’s weirdly cool, and often discomforting with the ambiance it creates. The almost lack of words is unsettling, leaving the visual to essentially tell the story (whatever it may be, I’m still struggling to interpret it). I just know I could feel my heart beating as if I was watching some psychological thriller and had chills crawling down my back.
