Hold is a short interactive experience. 

I hope you can see yourself in a project I consider to be quite personal. Leave a comment if you'd like.

Play time is only about 2-3 minutes depending on how long you linger. I recommend wearing headphones and playing in a dark room.


Windows Installer & Linux Versions are available for download.

Steam Deck Compatible.

HOLD - END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

==================================

By clicking "I Agree," you acknowledge that you have read this agreement in its entirety, or at the very least skimmed it with the same energy you bring to reading the terms and conditions on literally everything else. I respect the skim.

This game was made by TFX Games. It's not much, but it's honest work.

1. GRANT OF LICENSE

Hold is free. You may install it, play it, uninstall it, reinstall it, and tell your friends about it. You may not sell it, redistribute it, or claim you made it.

2. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

This software is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind, express or implied. TFX Games makes no guarantees that this game will be free of bugs, that it will run perfectly on your specific machine, or that it will fill the void in your heart...

Actually, it WILL fill the void in your heart.... Actually, nevermind I am being told by legal counsel that I can't make claims about the user's heart and voids or lack thereof.

TFX Games shall not be held liable for any damages arising from the use of this software, including but not limited to: lost data or heart void filling... [legal counsel note] please stop mentioning the user's heart.

3. PHOTOSENSITIVITY / EPILEPSY WARNING

A very small percentage of people may experience seizures or blackouts when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing images, including patterns that may appear in video games.

If you or anyone in your household has a history of epilepsy or seizures, please consult a physician before playing.

If you experience any of the following while playing — dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convulsions - stop playing IMMEDIATELY and consult a doctor before resuming play.

Even though Hold is a pretty chill game, we take this seriously. Your health matters more than any game. Always.

Additionally, if you suspect that you suffer from anxiety or OCD I recommend therapy. This game is about my own anxiety and OCD, so it felt right to mention.

4. THAT'S IT

If you read this whole thing it probably will take longer than playing Hold to completion. The world is funny that way.
