Neuralimina
WE WATCHED HIM DESCEND DEEPER AND DEEPER.
NONE OF US UNDERSTOOD WHY.
Neuralimina is a short, surreal point-and-click adventure game about exploring dreams. Navigate illogical environments. Unravel cryptic puzzles. Find a way out.
- Explore atmospheric prerendered 3D environments inspired by 90s adventure games.
- Solve mysterious puzzles and uncover hidden secrets.
- Multiple endings to experience.
- Roughly 30 minutes of playtime.
- Hover with the mouse to identify. Click or tap to interact.
- Items may be examined, used (on the environment), or combined (with other items).
- Some pathways are not immediately apparent. Explore.
- Sound and the CRT filter can be toggled in the bottom right.
- Note that the CRT filter does cause visual distortions on some mobile devices and if you are capturing the game. It is recommended to disable the filter in these instances.
- Go deeper.

Crashed once I got to the air vent, couldn't get any further.
Oh no, I'm so sorry! I will look into this. Thank you for letting me know; this is the first time I've heard of this bug.
Were you playing on the browser version, or the Windows executable?
Playing on my phone browser. The game is great though. I'll definitely play it again once I can progress.
i suck at these kind of games so i couldnt get thru the first scene but the graphics are very cool
Thank you for playing! Glad you enjoyed the graphics! :)
And no worries! The game is pretty hard. There is a hint section at the bottom of the itch page with some subtle hints for the puzzles, alongside the full answers, if you would like a nudge in the right direction!
