In a world where the concept of dreams is foreign, Failing to Fathom follows the story of Rachell Rohara, a college student who one night wakes up in a different reality and has a surreal experience we tend to call dreaming. Visit the city of Splu'jalova where you will meet many unique and/or memorable characters, whom you can build your bonds with any way you like. The game contains things that are meant to disturb or unease you, but everything is probably a dream after all, so don't worry.​

v0.4.5 - 6k words, give or take - 150 images (I am very proud of the quality of these) - 1 new character: A gyaru gal who is very close to someone - Higher resolution base game (from 1280x720 to 1920x1080, images from previous versions are upscaled, but not redone, so they're lower quality) - Less black screens - New music - A bunch of spelling mistake fixes, changes to the script for clarity and added notifications that tell the exact date and time when the events are happening - Fixed the wonky-looking bonds screens v0.4 - 10k words, give or take - 175 images - 2 new characters: A blue haired musical prodigy and a tomboy bodybuilder - New music - A bunch of spelling mistake fixes, changes to the script for clarity - Something Better Known issues: - The aforementioned breaking of saves - The "bonds" screen might have visual bugs, nothing dangerous, but I am working on a fix for it - My rapidly deteriorating mental health (save me by giving me money) v0.3 - 10k words - 225 images - 2 new characters: A quirky idol in the making and her mentor - New music - Minor fixes and edits to text - Something special, made for you What's up, what's up! After a long waiting I present to you Failing to Fathom version 0.2! This update features new characters, the story thus far from another perspective, character logs, QOL changes and various fixes. Changelog is as follows: - Roughly 10k words - Around 250 images - 2 New characters - Character logs for all existing characters - New music - Minor fixes to the narrative (mainly stuff to avoid confusion) - Fixes Known issues: - With the addition of character logs (which can be accessed through the "Characters" screen from the menu after unlocking them) some may experience missing images and buttons albeit having the requirements already met. The best way to solve this issue is to replay the game (you can press Ctrl on your keyboard to skip already seen dialogue, so this should take a couple minutes tops).

Cool and funny idea. However, it appears to have 3 different mechanics, none fit for just a story. Still confused where the "management" tag fits in, as this was how I found it. I know it is just starting and all but there is nothing that is drawing me back to check in, nothing to catch my eye. At this point in time it seems to just be another funny self-aware story.

Failing to Fathom is a wacky-ass story about dreaming and some other shit by TwoHands69. It is complete with typos, weird imagery, depressed characters, a female protagonist who I will affectionately call "Heterochromia Skater" simply to get a laugh out of myself, and lots of zany dialogue where your choices will supposedly matter. Just play it, it's fairly short as of right now. Praise be.
