Our thoughts shape our reality, and this is the central idea that the short narrative-puzzle game Unwording is based around.
You play as Tom, a lonely, average guy with a tendency to see the negative in everything. An empty bed to him - literally - spells loneliness, an empty phone inbox screams that no one likes him. Everywhere he looks, the world reinforces his negative thoughts back to him.

As the player, you live through 3 very different days of Tom's life, exploring his neighborhood and interpreting his thoughts through word puzzles. As his perception changes, his worldview widens, and you see more of the hidden dimensions of his life.
