In Sun-Drenched Gardens

This game reminds me in a weird way of an older parser game called Byzantine Perspective. Both revolve around a strange issue with perspective that takes a while to resolve.

My first thought when playing this game was bewilderment. All of the game text was about a kind of mystical garden, frightening and old. You stumble around in it, looking for escape.

But, the choices are all about a conversation that you have on a train with a stranger who looks oddly familiar.

The game ended really quickly at first, but I realized it was called a maze. I eventually figured a way out: (Spoiler - click to show)picking choices related to connecting to the stranger next to you. Near the end, I picked wrong, but replayed and got it right.

The ending resolves the discrepancy in perspective.
