In the Back of my Mind

In the Back of my Mind is a first person story, in which you traverse through the darkest and most twisted area the world has ever witnessed.

My head.

In the Back of my Mind was developed during a 30 hour game jam, with the theme of "Me." And so, armed with only one other artist on my team, I designed a game about myself, and who I am. Our team, The Debauchery Duo, ended up taking second place out of 6 projects.

This version of the game is a slightly polished version of the final game jam build, fixing some UX and making the game, ultimately, less tedious.

The reasoning behind why I chose to make a game about myself, Blake 'Kwanton' Blakeslee, was because I knew this was a kind of game that no other team would be able to do, because of two reasons: One, every team had a large amount of people, and having the game be about one person on the team would not work out, this was why I separated from my usual team and only grabbed one other person. Two, no one's self centered enough to suggest a game that is solely about them, not to mention the fear of exploring oneself and showing off the more personal parts that lie in the back of our minds.
