«Psychotic Bathtub» deals with Ophelia’s experience with her slightly odd, highly disturbing, and entirely unique psychotic disorder in her bathtub. Interact with the environment through Ophelia’s eyes: Argue with your rubber duck, drink wine, add more bathwater. Each of your interactions may lead to death, great joy, or even worse: Your duck drowns, the wine turns into poison, the bathroom is flooded. Will you find a way out of the really scary parts of your mind? Maybe not.

«Psychotic Bathtub» is a multilinear indie story game in development. Its most recent prototype offers four different endings and a playtime up to thirty minutes. Download the most current demo for Windows here!
