Why do people do the things they do?You play as a little girl trying to find her place in a society that forces conformity, but you're different, and they don't like it.Your Mind is Your InventoryYour inventory isn't filled with keys or crowbars. Instead, you collect Ideas. You use these to interact with The Others but it’s not always successful. Using the wrong idea causes them to become aggressive, volatile, or offended. This, in turn, has a big effect on you.The Weight of PerceptionYour experience is governed by three shifting mental states: Resilience, Trust, and Anxiety. Too many negative interactions bring these to critical levels. They distort your perception, unlock different branches of the story, and can ultimately lead to dark endings. The Voice WithinYou aren't alone. An Alter Ego follows you around to amplify your biggest fears and anxieties. Don't trust everything it says.Three RealmsGameplay shifts between:The Real World - a black & white society. They are unable to see color and can’t perceive how or why the protagonist is different but they view her as broken. In return, they all look the same to the protagonist as she suffers from face blindness and can't distinguish between individuals.The protagonist's happy Inner WorldThe Nightmare WorldFeaturesA creepy, cute & disturbing point & click adventureA story rich game about anxiety, perseverance, giving up or fighting back, the choice is yoursMultiple endingsChoices that matterResilience, Trust & Anxiety scores that distort your perceptionAn unreliable Alter-EgoSurreal horror puzzlesHand painted and animated frame by frameOriginal soundtrack Ethically CraftedAbout the DeveloperMiss Self Destruct is a one-woman studio founded by Cami Cuibus in 2026.

It's inspired by my own experiences as an anxious, over-thinking little girl trying to find connection and acceptance. Every frame of animation was hand-painted by me, every line of dialogue written from the heart, and every note of the soundtrack composed to capture what it felt like to experience that.No generative AI was used in the production of this game. Thank you for supporting independent, human-made art.
