About Your Canvas
Your Canvas is a text-based RPG developed by Abihumsi and released on PC in January 2026. Set across three therapy sessions spanning different time periods, the game forces players to make choices that shape the protagonist’s psyche and story outcome. With no combat or exploration, the focus is on narrative tension and decision-making. Each session unfolds through dialogue options, with consequences rippling into future sessions. It’s a single-player horror experience that blends psychological unease with a fragmented storytelling structure. The minimalist approach makes it a stark, unsettling journey into memory and identity.
Gameplay
Players spend each session reading therapist-patient dialogues and selecting responses that influence the protagonist’s mental state. Choices range from honest reflections to defensive lies, each altering the trajectory of the story. The game’s three acts are separated by short intermissions, letting players process their decisions. Sessions typically last 15, 20 minutes, with the full game averaging 5, 6 hours. Controls are limited to clicking or keyboard inputs for selections, emphasizing the text-heavy format. The lack of traditional mechanics forces players to grapple with narrative ambiguity, as outcomes often defy expectations. The experience is slow-burning but intense, with moments of dread emerging from the weight of poor choices.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate Your Canvas 8.7/10, with 82% completing the game and an average playtime of 5.9 hours. Community moods skew heavily toward "haunting" (68%) and "unsettling" (31%), with few players describing it as "boring" (4%). Critics praise its "unflinching look at trauma" and "choices that linger long after the credits." However, 18% of reviews cite the pacing as "grindingly slow." The game’s achievements are modest, with 90% of players earning the "Session Complete" trophies but only 23% unlocking the final "Truth Uncovered" achievement. At $19.99, it’s seen as a low-risk purchase, though 28% of players wish it included visual elements to break up the text.
PlayPile's Take
Your Canvas is a niche pick for fans of narrative-driven horror who don’t mind minimal interactivity. Its $19.99 price makes it worth a try, especially for those who appreciate branching stories and psychological depth. While the lack of gameplay variety and short runtime may feel underwhelming, the emotional weight of its choices and ambiguous ending justify the experience. It’s not for players seeking action or visual flair, but for its target audience, it’s a chilling, thought-provoking experiment in text-based storytelling.
