CHAR.CHAR is a surreal puzzle game with pixelated graphics and a cryptic story line. The game is divided into five worlds, each of which contain unique puzzles and strange environments. The puzzles present within this game are often tricky, so you have to think carefully and creatively!

Currently, CHAR.CHAR is very early in its development, and only the first two worlds are completed. Because of this, it is not out of the question that you may encounter bugs, or some of the puzzles may be too difficult. If you find any bugs or have specific feedback about any of the puzzles, please feel free to let me know!

Please note that the browser version is only meant to be a preview, and will not continue after the first section of the first world ends. I highly recommend downloading CHAR.CHAR instead.


WARNING: CHAR.CHAR contains or will contain dark themes and flashing lights!

The web version isn't working for me - Edge Browser. I get the warning and click to continue. Then I get a black screen and white cursor and nothing happens from there.

I just tried it and I think for some reason you have to fullscreen it and un-fullscreen it, otherwise it doesn't show up. I was not aware of this issue

That worked to get the game running. But you can turn off doing all the checks or showing them (It's a setting in Unity).

But I still had no idea what I was supposed to do. It says solve the puzzles on the left and right, but I couldn't see anything.

It loads a different room by walking to the end of the hallway.

What setting are you talking about specifically though?

Player Settings:

WebAssembly Language Features

Enable Exceptions:

  • None
  • Explicitly Thrown Exceptions Only
  • Full Without Stacktrace
  • Full With Stacktrace

(You appear to have selected Full - because it's listing all the steps it is going through when I open the game.)

Oh, that's the introduction when you start the game for the first time. Although since it's WebGL data doesn't get saved, so it plays the intro every time. I appreciate the help either way though!

I only played for a bit (not great at puzzles) but loved the eerie atmosphere, it was almost meditative after some time :)

Thank you for playing CHAR.CHAR, even if only for a small amount of time! I was planning to release a new update within a few days, which mostly serves to improve the game. If you have any specific feedback, please feel free to comment it here!

I think I'd like if I could get some hint as to what to do when stuck, so I can keep playing even I suck :') Also maybe the sound of footsteps could be a tiny bit quieter? After a while walking around in circles it started driving me crazy xD

AAAAHAHAHAHAHA IT'S OUT %^&*(^%&*(%^&*(&^*() I ACTUALLY CAN'T ehere we go!

Thank you! I have a discord server link on my YouTube channel (Enjoy Tomorrow - YouTube), that would probably be the best place to contact me, but if not I do also have twitter (Enjoy Tomorrow (@enjoytomorrow82) / X), which I can be contacted through as well.
