    What Happened is not the kind of game you want to jump into on a weekend for some light-hearted fun. The game takes its subject matter seriously and delivers an experience that’s not “fun” so much as it is emotionally engaging. Like watching a sad movie, you need to go into What Happened with the right mindset and expectations. If you do, there’s a wonderful journey to be found.

    What Happened delivers an impactful, thought-provoking experience that exemplifies the eccentric dangers of mental illness. Despite not having a combat system, its puzzle-solving exploration requires focus and persistence, rewarding players with progress and deeper dives into Stiles’ mind. While it doesn’t achieve Hellblade’s adrenaline rush or convey as convincing of a narrative due to the less-than-average voice acting, it still satisfies the growing need for drawing attention to the perils of mental illness and is capable of multiple endings.

    There wasn't even 1 moment that i wasn't like: WHAT THE HELL DID JUST HAPPEN!
    it has its own weaknesses, but for an indie game, TOTALLY WORTH THE TIME!
    it can be considered in masterpiece category and its a MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE!!!!
    it got loopy puzzles that can keep you busy for hours and after you play it the reasoning behind naming the game would be obvious for you. it seems like it has multiple endings, so far i have found 2. I'm not gonno spoil it here but in order to find them you have to be really curious.

    Well, you should experience this game, this is the story of our teenage era, with all good and bad memories.
    6 hours of most creative and high tense scenes with a strong story behind it, I love it, it's totally worth it and I recommend it to horror fans.
