INTRO

In this game I tried to implement a weird game experience: you'll play a single-player game, but it feels like there are other players playing together with you - like a multi-player game.

There are 6 playable characters in this game. Every character has his own attributes(moving speed, jump height...) and attack style. You'll control 1 of them and try to defeat the others. The fun part is: all of the characters are controlled by yourself - both the player and the enemies. Can you win the fight? Can you discover the truth behind it?

ABOUT THE THEME & STORY

If you've completed the game, but cannot understand the logic or story behind the cut-scenes. It's not your fault. I failed to tell the story beneath the surface of game very well. Below is the detail description about the story/logic behind the scene.

----- SPOILER -----

This game is inspired by dissociative identity disorder. It tried to show the "fight" inside the brain of a patient with split personalities.

The 1st scene is a talk between you and doctor - before discharging from hospital, you need to complete a test to prove that there is only 1 personality in your body.

On the surface, it's a simple conversation test. But beneath the surface, you are also doing another brutal test at the same time in your brain ...

You need to control 1 character(personality) to kill the others. If he is killed, a new character will be spawned -- in the real world, that means you have changed to another personality...

You need to show that there is only 1 personality in your body during the test. So the ultimate goal of game inside is killing the others without any death - after that, you will be discharged in the real world.
