Game Plays YOU

Content warnings:

• control over another being (digital video game characters)
• control over another being (metaphorically the game itself "controlling" you)

About the Game

You've played games, sure, but what if a game played you? Took control of your actions? Could press buttons to make you walk up to strangers and talk to them, or make you make the silliest sound effects? It's time to find out!

The game has you roll dice and do things matching a table of potential actions, but don't worry, you can always say no or skip something. Actions include household tasks, physical activities, making silly sound effects to match your actions, and take a break, among others. 🧡 

The "Pages " file has all of the pages individually in a PDF, and the Zine files are identical to one another, having all of the pages on one sheet that can be folded to make a small booklet 📖 

The Hyper 1 HOUR Game Jam

This game was created for Hyper 1 HOUR Game Jam #15 (Roles Reversed), which means I literally made it in an hour! WHEW! But this was my SIXTH Hyper 1 HOUR Game Jam and I highly encourage you to check them out 🧡 They're every Friday at 6pm eastern and Lýz livestreams them, including the theme reveal and playing entries after. She's super fun and encouraging and awesome!

You can watch Lýz talk about and play it in the video below (it should start playing right when she dives into Game Plays YOU)!
