True Self

True Self is a first-person narrative platformer about conflicting thoughts and mental states.

It was created for the 2022 Global Game Jam and was inspired by the 'duality' theme of this year's GGJ.

I had three goals with True Self:

1. Have a creative break and test my game making skills in Unreal Engine.
2. Promote the 'duality' theme through an interesting mechanic.
3. Make something genuine and allow myself to be vulnerable through art.

The game contains deeply personal and political references. It takes less than 5 minutes to complete.
