You Are a Strange World

You live in a strange world that is influenced by, and influences, your actions, just as your brain influences your limbs and vice-versa.  We might wonder, then, whether "you" and "the world" are, in fact, one and the same.  This is true in the game as well.

An experimental platformer made in 48 hours for the 2021 GMTK Game Jam, very loosely inspired by the idea that the "self" and the external world might not be as easily separable as we normally assume.  In other words, the game world and the player character (and the real world and the real player) are inextricably "joined together" into a single entity.
