A downloadable game

THE PERSON THAT YOU ARE is a solo zine making game about expressing the specific person that you are and how that person emerged.

It was inspired by the feeling I get when I listen to music that I used to listen to a lot and haven't thought about in a long time, a feeling that there's something there to capture about who I was and what that means that I can't quite grasp. 

It also takes some inspiration from the the idea of an archival finding aid. When archivists have a room full of stuff (an archive), they have to find a way to make sense of it for an audience. They may create several finding aids to make sense of the same collection different ways. I was playing around with the idea of a person as an archive.

It is the first of a series of games which fit on one (occasionally double sided) poster. The idea is that altogether they might create an exhibit that functioned both as a series of playable experiences and as collection of playable experiences that you can think about as a whole in addition to or instead of playing them. 

All of these games are free with no suggested donation, and feedback is welcome.

This is an excellent game about reflection and nostalgia! I love the focus on categorization of things from the past
