Stuck is a small, experimental game about feelings of isolation, depression and being caught in cycles.
Stuck's creation coincided with Melbourne's long period of extended lockdown during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Its themes were inspired by many of the events over the course of 2020 and developer Andrew Karalis' own personal experiences coping with them.
'Stuck' is a gentle and reflective experience that I hope people can find comforting in the hard times we've been through and continue to find ourselves in.
