This is Bohrdom, a delisted indie game which has been unavailable ever since its developer, Cole Allen, tried to assassinate the president. I was able to get my hands on it, and I've removed the DRM. Archive dot org below ↴

Remedios Varo's depiction of Lady Godiva reimagines the legendary figure navigating a dreamlike, surreal space, swathed in mystical and otherworldly elements. The artwork captures Varo's signature style, blending magical realism with intricate, symbolic details such as elongated figures and mysterious backgrounds.
