About

Coil is an experimental game and a visual poem about life and death. The game is controlled by the mouse and no instructions are given. The player needs to discover how clicking and mouse movements affect the gameplay. It consists of seven gameplay sequences. When one is finished, a next piece of the storyline is provided in text. The game starts with a spermatozoon in a struggle for life and survival and then moves on to the various stages of life as a foetus with a dark theme.
