An amazing game to take a break from your usual games, and to take your mind off of your worries and focus on the story of the game instead. Especially if you're an overthinker or are going through so much in life, this game will probably feel like a nice breeze that will cool your mind a little. The "multiple endings" system could've been executed and shown much better with more effort, but the story itself is nice and deep, and you really need to focus on it to understand it and the character, that's also why it will be a nice break from your everyday usual life. The music and soundtrack is also pretty good

It's uh... nice for the price. I like the originality and as regrettable as this sounds many aspects strangely hit too close to home so that's bonus points haha. Some reviews say the English version was lost in translation but I don't know Russian so I... dunno. But this game needs heavy improvement on mechanics and design. No dialogue log, very slow transition, text placement and visual effects that hurt the eyes more than doing justice for the themes. I got two endings and have to go on YouTube for the rest cuz my head was spinning from the flicker like You. The story flow is not exactly ideal, I like that we slowly uncover more and more through replaying but some endings feel cut short and unnecessary. Overall it's a nice little game and somewhat enjoyable, I guess. I still recommend it out of good faith but please dev please do something about the design :(

If you don’t mind a game that’s in black and white and narration at its own pace, then you’ll really enjoy this game. This is the type of game where you sit back and let the game tell its story. Quite literally. This game has many endings and every single one of them is interesting or evening shocking. The soundtrack during each ending is also pretty cool. That was half of the enjoyment for me. I enjoyed even whipping out a pen and paper to keep track of all the endings I got. Still pretty easy to get all the achievements on this game even though there’s not really any guides out there. Overall, I think this game is kinda a masterpiece. It’s a pretty unique one if you’re definitely looking for a game like no other.

It's a niche game, so it's not meant for everyone to like it. I, personally, liked it a lot mostly because of the melancholic atmosphere and I'm simply in love with any game that makes me reflect upon mundane things. I'm a big fan of Russian literature, especially the existentialist ones, that's why I gave this game a shot and I loved it. I went for 100%, it is a little tiring but I like to explore and experience all ending possibilities. If you're into existentialism, melancholy and dark humour, go for it!

Alright. My Name is You and it's the only unusual thing in my life is done and dusted. This is a 'choose your own adventure' style game wherein it is all dialogue choices in big bold white letters with some hazy background images and a black backdrop. There are basically fifteen story paths. Thirteen lead to unique endings, one leads to a duplicate ending, and one loops back to the beginning of the story. There are three chapters, although each ending is unique to one of the three chapters. It took me a little over an hour to complete everything, and as long as you select paths you haven't tried before, you will no problem getting all the endings either. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3254988252 Mostly, this is a game about somebody who has a psychological or physical disorder brought about by (mostly self induced) stress. The main character, whose name is You , believes he has a life threatening physical disease, and this becomes the basis for almost every decision made in the game. There is one thing I wasn't clear on, and it's not particularly story relevant, but the game mentions that You gets nosebleeds and also mentions drinking his bloody coffee a couple times. Is he actually bleeding into his coffee or is it the euphemism of 'this bloody' coffee instead? Anyway, of all the endings, only one can truly be considered a 'good' ending. The rest are various degrees of calamity or funny outcomes to situations. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3254570304 This game is voice narrated, and I quite enjoyed that. The narrator's combination of dry storytelling and mild dramaticism and overacting led to some kind of hilarious moments in my opinion. The dialogue features some intentionally funny moments though, so the voice acting decisions were probably intentional. The English translation seemed good, although maybe a bit clunky at times. But, that also led to a couple of chuckles. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3254570241 The soundtrack....is one of the best I've witnessed in a game. It's baller through and through. In fact, I'll definitely look up the artists and see what else they have released. It's really really good. Shame you can't actually purchase the OST. It's a rare instance where I would definitely buy it. This game is a buck on Steam. I think that is more than fair, and the game is a quality experience well worth consideration. Definitely give it a look if you enjoy a quirky and short experience that is also pretty uncomplicated. Plus, that soundtrack. You gotta hear it.
