Californium

A first-person adventure in which players assume the role of a writer “trapped in shifting realities.” The game takes place in 1967 in Berkeley, California. The career of Philip K. Dick-inspired Elvin Green is “no better than his sentimental life”: his wife Thea left him on the same day, and his editor Eddie, calling him “a writer who doesn’t write,” advised him to find a replacement. Green abuses alcohol and drugs, spends sleepless nights at his typewriter, and can’t get his first novel started. On the verge of a breakdown, he realizes that the nightmarish world around him is unstable and can be accessed from it into another reality.
