«Psychotic Bathtub» deals with a psychotic disorder and is a multilinear indie story game.

You find yourself as Ophelia in your bathtub and interact with the environment: Argue with your rubber duck, drink wine, add more bathwater. Each of your interactions threatens to escalate and has severe consequences: You drown your duck, the wine turns into poison, the bathroom is flooded. And so you move through the disorder towards different endings.

«Psychotic Bathtub» is in development. Its most recent prototype offers four different endings, a playtime up to thirty minutes and can be
downloaded here.
