You wake up. A disembodied voice tells you that you have been trapped in a time loop with your future self. They have committed a terrible crime in the near future, and - according to this voice - the only way you can escape the loop is to convince your future self of the wrongness of their actions.
It seems you have no choice but to follow their instructions, but that doesn't mean you should believe everything they say. As you progress in your conversation with your future self, it becomes very apparent that something is amiss. Someone is lying to you. The question is: who? And why?

Your Future Self is a 1-2 hour long story-driven experimental text adventure with unique conversational mechanics, time loop based gameplay, and a gripping, suspenseful, emotionally charged narrative that touches on politically important topics such as climate change, refugee crises, and mental illness. It harks back to the aesthetics of text-based adventure games whilst deliberately bending the genre into something unique.
After releasing the full game on Steam and Itch.io a couple of weeks ago, I thought I'd release a free demo on indiedb for those who fancy giving the game a go without committing to a purchase. If you're interested in checking the game out, now's your chance. The demo is the first chapter of the game (with a little bit extra, and a surprise unique to the demo) so you can see if it's your bag.
