Story

"Ifs" are creatures that sense your discomfort and come to you. Each colour of this creature represents a specific method of solving its problems. They come to us during our mourning & trauma.

You are a black silhouette, a character who seems uninteresting but has a wide smile whose meaning is unknown.



You are in hospital, not far from you, a roommate, apparently a quadriplegic boy. What can you do?

 

Gameplay

• Switch from top down view (like zelda) to platformer view (like mario bros) to clear obstacles -
  
  

 

• Your weapon is your personality. The path you take will depend on it. 
  
  

 

• The dungeons you go through will depend on the choices you make.  Go through some of the 50 dungeons and reach one of the many endings to learn more about your avatar and the game.

Just a note

This game is about dealing with grief and trauma and offers many different points of view, inspired by numerous testimonies on the subject. You will probably have your own point of view that will guide you during the game, or maybe the game will guide your point of view... the goal is that at the end, you will have your own point of view that is unlike any other presented in the game. In any case, the avatar you control has its own point of view that you can discover if you wish.

It will be up to you to conclude whether you have participated in the construction of a protagonist or an antagonist, according to what he has convinced himself.

One day, this game will be removed and the sequel to this game will be released. You will face the character whose story you are building here and you will have the choice of opposing him, or joining him.

This game was started by a child. Expect to see elements that a child might dream of putting into his game, with its influences and conclusions.

Enjoy the game and thank you for reading.
