Overview
Commute is a short, atmospheric walking simulator that draws inspiration from titles like The Exit 8. Players step into the shoes of a young girl navigating her daily journey home from work. The core gameplay revolves around careful observation of the environment, as subtle anomalies can appear, signaling a need to turn back. Missing these anomalies or making the wrong decision can lead to unexpected outcomes.
The game's progression is visually marked by the changing colors of the sky, transitioning from sunset to evening, and finally to late evening, with varying weather conditions. The ultimate goal is to correctly identify anomalies and make the right choices to reach home safely, culminating in a final decision point presented by the sky's color.
