Can you escape the structures of your own mind? Brutalismus is a short, first-person experience where you’ll explore the decaying remains of the mind of a brutalist architect fractured by his own obsessions. In this psychological walking simulator, vast empty plazas, towering monolithic structures, and impossible corridors reflect the unraveling of a haunted mind. As you move deeper, fragmented memories and scattered voices reveal a story of control, obsession, and madness. Concrete becomes both a symbol of power and a prison, as the boundaries between physical space and mental collapse dissolve.
