I'm not who I am by Tik

"My memory fades as do the last embers of my life, but will I learn if I am who people say I am?"

Make the choices that define a character as you explore a bedroom interacting with various objects to decide: Are you what people saw the character as or are you something else? They see you as one thing but are you something else Beneath the surface?

This was created for Ludum Dare 29 under the theme "Beneath the surface" I decided to make it in a personality/mental sense as opposed to just "Under the ground/Sea" Though due to timezones and my inability to withstand all nighters the game lacks a few things I wanted, This was made in around 15 hours. because of this the game is incredibly short, completable in around 3 minuets.

There are 5 endings in the game, depending on your choices depends on the answer, but if you don't pick enough in one category you'll get the "bad ending" 'I am unsure' which from what people have told me is very common, so getting the other "true" endings is a fitting reward

RPG Maker games in general require a runtime package (RTP) to run properly. It can be found here:

A fairly simple (and depressing) game. Audiovisuals do their job nicely, and the writing is good. Good work!

Game is quite hard to install, as lemming said you need the RTP. This aside, I can see there is some work on the text part, which got you a good rating for the mood part.
The lack of music is disturbing and would increase the ambient quite a lot.
This is a nice use of the theme, at least it doesn't include submarines or moles, which is good.

Also the end is quite brutal.

Game errored out on startup, you're probably missing some external resources or something in your download link.

The surface being different from the interior doesn't make the surface somehow false.

If you game isn't loading or is missing try using the Source, it SHOULD contain the RTP

I donwload the no rtp version, and when the character are going to reveal who he is beneath the surface, the game went all black. Is this normal?

I played through it twice, got ending 1 and 5. Was a nice idea, done fairly well. A lot of spelling mistakes though.

love seeing rpgmaker games with home made sprites! this was a really interesting game, a nice kind of introspective experience :) i didn't really know a lot of the books/songs so my choices were quite inconsistent

Thank you for making a game where your decisions actually matter, for once. Refreshing and well-executed.

I really like what you tried to do here. It didn't really draw me in like I hoped something like it would. But really good effort :)

I like what you were going for, but I would've liked some more visual feedback on the choices I made. Maybe change the rooms, furniture or clothing a bit based on what you're becoming. After trying 3 times I ended up with the unsure ending every time.
