The premise, in the publisher's words
Spiral is a third-person narrative exploration game that shares a poetic vision of cognitive degeneration. Step into the shoes of Bernard as you help him and support him while braving his unravelling mind and reliving his most treasured moments. Somewhere in the distance, the sound of a train whistle can be heard. You’re meant to be somewhere, but you’re not quite ready. A staircase lies before you, doors that feel vaguely familiar are scattered along it and leading you further down…what adventures will they take you on? Meet Bernard Penfield…writer-at-heart, introspective soul, roleplaying-veteran, professional dog-petter, comforts-of-home lover -- and your companion throughout this story!…
