Calendula is a short, indie meta puzzle horror game. It plays in first person view and is an Environmental Narrative Game with a strange, ambiguous story and not much in the way of gameplay besides walking to the next destination.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })That is, assuming you can actually get the game to work. The primary gimmick of the game is that the main menu itself is riddled with strange and disturbing glitches preventing you from accessing the game. You must use the main menu to fix them and find various passwords to access the save files; the process of doing so becomes a series of puzzles. And all throughout is a dark, unnerving atmosphere as you try to figure out who you are and what you are doing here.

The Ending Changes Everything: For most of the game, the narrative is incredibly vague. All that is known is that you are someone traveling in a strange Womb Level with corridors and disturbing visions. The ending reveals that Calendula is the name of the protagonist, who is a baby going through the process of birth.

Environmental Narrative Game: An odd example in that only about half the game is this. The In-Universe game of Calendula is a first-person walking sim where you only have the option to walk forward, and pressing any other button does nothing. The first-person segments are short and only require you to walk forward for about a minute. The main gameplay is actually in the main menu itself, which is riddled with Ominous Visual Glitches that must be fixed so you can find passwords to access the files of the game.
