Explore a surreal world full of contrasts: black and white, friends and enemies, serenity and agitation. When the time comes, what we resist will persist, what we accept will transform, and through self transformation, we will discover the spectrum in between.

About this game
SDIES is an interactive animation that explores the duality of black-and-white thinking and contrasting emotional extremes. This visual metaphor, and the evolving gameplay which embodies themes of self-transformation and finding balance, offers a short yet impactful journey in a visually, aurally, and emotionally polarized world.
This experience is designed to empower players to overcome mental health issues and trauma which often push people to emotional extremes. How much of our experience delving into frighteningly dark and destructively joyful places is guided by outside forces? What happens if, instead of submitting to a hostile environment which consumes and changes us, we enact the change we want to see within ourselves?
- Tactile point & click gameplay
- Monochromatic animation art style
- Adaptive jazz music

A New Game from the Dev!
Hello there!It’s been a minute. This is Hao, co-developer of SDIES.First of all, thank you so much for playing our strange little black-and-white game. SDIES started as a small project Kat and I made during grad school, and we never expected it to reach so many players. We’ve read each and every review, and your support has meant so much to us.Since then, I’ve been working on a new game: Before Closure.If you enjoyed the interactive audio experience of SDIES, then this is for you:Before Closure is a first-person narrative game about sound, memory, and the things we never quite learned how to say goodbye to. You play as Murph, sorting through a box of personal items from your ex-partner while moving out of your apartment. By closing your eyes in real life, you will experience immersive audioscapes and relive intimate memories from this past relationship. The game releases on May 15, 2026. Wishlist now and check out the game when it's out! I can't wait for you to experience it.Lastly, to all of the SDIES players, thank you again, from the bottom of my heart. Your support is what gave me the courage to continue my journey as a game developerRead full article on Community Announcements (haochengliu.game)
