Dreams use so many bits and pieces of our memory, but not in a logical, linear way. ―Rosalind Cartwright, Psychologist

SELF is a suspenseful Kafkaesque text-based adventure game with simulation and puzzle mechanics.

My father has vanished, yet I seem to be the only one who has noticed. Even my own mother is completely indifferent to his absence. The journey I must embark upon to bring him back is one that can only be traveled alone.

In this game, the boundaries of reality, dreams, truth, and memories are blurred. Many puzzles and challenges await, and you must commit to a series of choices leading you to a range of different endings.

In this introspective adventure, you must collect clues from throughout your journey and piece them together to find out the whole story. But— will you seize the opportunity to find your SELF?

A story that plays out upon an interactive CRT monitor screen. Varied gameplay including bullet hell minigames, inspired by titles such as Undertale and Just Shapes & Beats. A unique experience with rich pixel art and a gripping story. A fragmented narration with multiple endings.
