She is young and the enamel of her intelligence is perceived after a few jokes. Reluctant to marry, reluctant to be reduced to the object of a man’s company, Elsa has dreams and aspirations... But she can’t realize them until she realizes why she’s paralyzed.
Unable to walk, confined to bed, fantastic or elaborates an impossible love, she grinds hatred towards doctors and drugs.
Dr. Freud will have to understand if and how much the woman lies, is aware of it, and how to act in order to free her from this symptom!
What do you think? Do you know the names of nervous diseases or will you start Freud’s Bones on an empty stomach, taking it as a challenge?
FREUD, FREUD, WHY ARE YOU FREUD?
Jewish by birth, intellectual, and cynical, Sigmund Freud is the epitome of the rebel genius.
After years of fruitless study of the fish's nervous system, his formidable intuition led him to devise a therapeutic method for treating neurosis: psychoanalysis.
Lying on his couch, in the smoky silence of his Viennese study, Freud listened to the streams of consciousness of his neurotic, hysterical, manic-depressive patients... gripped by incredible and inexplicable symptoms: paralysis of the limbs, mutism, hallucinations, recurring dreams.
Through his method, worthy of an archaeologist, he digs, interpret symbols, and reveals the root of the patients' torments, freeing them. But Freud is also, and above all, a man in existential crisis, plagued by doubts, fears of the Nazis, confusion about who he really is and IF he is REALLY ONLY a sorcerer or if he himself is neurotic. Lashing out and stubborn, it will be hard to help him understand what is tormenting him...but in the meantime, we take control of his life and mind in FREUD'S BONES.
Do you think this game is a simple point-and-click adventure? Do you think Freud will passively follow your instructions? How do you feel about such a controversial character?
