Gameplay

My Friends below is a narrative heavy game. It is mostly story driven and relies on a bleak, strong atmosphere to enhance the feeling of the story. However, as you traverse this environment, you will realize some things are eager to interact with you, as much as you are eager to interact with the environment. 

You need to keep an eye out for your surroundings and recognize the creeping dangers that might come your way. They won’t announce their approach, so you need to be vigilant. In a puzzle-like way, avoid these dangers, in order to keep going and progress the story.
