Metastasis

Metastasis is a tense, narrative-driven psychological horror game that puts players inside the collapsing mind of Alex Kane, an ordinary middle-aged man diagnosed with two inoperable brain tumors. Rather than a medical procedural, Metastasis presents an intimate, disturbing story where hallucinations and inner voices reshape perception, push moral boundaries, and turn loved ones into reflections of the protagonist's decline. Players drawn to slow-burn, character-focused experiences will find this game a challenging exploration of identity, control, and the quiet violence that can live inside a person rather than a conventional action title.
