SELF and OTHERS: [Demo 1.0.]

Enclosed is a Demo produced for Stand Off Software’s Adventure Game Challenge. It remains a Work of Passion and a Work in Progress. The story enclosed is, however, to the best estimation of the Author, complete and ready for you to undertake.

The Theme Prompted for the Competition was as follows:

“The theme of the jam is A Delusion

The protagonist's main objective must be based on a belief that is clearly and obviously false (within your game's world).

The player must know from the beginning (or near the beginning) that the belief is false. ALSO, all the other characters in the story can clearly see that the belief is false. Yet the main character stubbornly keeps the belief despite all evidence and reason to the contrary.

The main character could realize the belief is false at the very end (but not before), or could not and continue believing it through the end of the game.

A classic example of this is the story of Don Quixote, although there are many other different ways the story could go.”

This Game Contains:

• 10 Endings, one of which is Actually Legitimate.
• 17 Characters, 4 of whom are Playable.
• Puzzles!!
• A Complete[ly] Original Soundtrack. (Coming Soon.)
• High-Steaks Culinary Arguments.
• A Captivating Story about Reality, Health, Power, Love, and Fluids.
• Content not Suitable for Children. (They wouldn’t get it anyway, but they shouldn’t go around repeating it.)

Health is a Journey, and Journeys are kind of like desserts, so enjoy the rocky road.
