Description from Steam STEAM

Something is wrong. You don’t know what. You need help.

Surreality Check is a narrative-focused visual novel with 3D exploration where you play as anxiety riddled cockroach extraordinaire: Rowan Roach as you try to help him feel okay with himself. To this end, you delve into a dimension of his deepest self to have therapy sessions with the Universe personified.

DISCOVER THE MEANING OF LIFE

With the help of the esteemed* and all-knowing** Dr. Universe, explore all the different possible solutions*** to Rowan Roach’s deeply unsatisfying life and career. Maybe he’d feel better through sickening universal optimism. Oh! Oh! Maybe try being BRUTALLY HONEST! Yeah! That’s never gone wrong before****?

COMMISERATE WITH OTHER D̶E̶G̶E̶N̶E̶R̶A̶T̶E̶S̶ CLIENTS

There’s plenty of opportunity for growth and development in this safe space from reality. From a humiliated reaper to a thirsty vampire, from the secretary to that estranged dog thing that locked itself in the closet and hasn’t come out yet. When you’re done gawking at them you might even gleam a thing or two.

YOU'RE PATHETIC

Just a reminder.

Can Rowan Roach overcome the human condition to become truly happy? Or will he be like this until he isn’t? It’s all up to you.

* Being well known does not at all correlate with efficacy

** Any attempts to pry information out of your mental health care professional is futile.

*** Solutions not guaranteed to not worsen your life.

**** It has.
