About Misgiven

AN INTROVERT'S EXPERIENCE IN AN EXTROVERTS' WORLD


Misgiven is an emotional 2D sci-fi adventure game about the lump in your throat and how difficult it can be to open up to others.

As Cassandra, a space adventurer stranded in a city of masks and unbreathable fog, you come across the mask of an explorer, whose role you'll have to play to stay alive and deliver a warning no one wants to hear. But how well can you pretend to be someone else, and how far will you go?

EXPERIENCE THE WORLD THROUGH THE MASK OF A STRANGER



  • Wear Kasturi's mask and pretend you're her to survive.[/*]
  • Investigate her past, discover her social circle and find out what happened to her.[/*]
  • Take on her role in order to save the city, or let the mask slip.[/*]


WRESTLE WITH YOUR WORDS AND MAKE MEANINGFUL CHOICES


As a lonely space explorer in an identity crisis, your social anxiety makes it difficult to open up to others.

  • Dialogue options - your thoughts - have different emotional weights.[/*]
  • Your openness to another person can change over time, and new topics can become available.[/*]
  • Play it safe and stick to small-talk, or try to squeeze in difficult topics for a chance to connect deeply, and risk being misunderstood.[/*]
  • Pick a side in a socio-political maelstrom facing environmental disaster: the hyper-individualistic Mar anarchists, the techno-collectivist Listeners who keep no secrets, or your corporate bosses pressuring you to finish your job.[/*]


EXPLORE A CITY SHROUDED IN MYSTERY


You are stranded in the city of Koriol - a sprawling metropolis built on the rim of a giant crater, veiled in toxic fog.

  • Get lost in hazy, neon-lit streets.[/*]
  • Exchange your mask's air filter to survive in the fog.[/*]
  • Visit rundown night clubs and floating temples.[/*]
  • Try to make this place your home.[/*]


EXPRESS YOURSELF WITH HOLOGRAPHIC EMOTES



  • Acquire an entire holographic emote inventory.[/*]
  • Convey a certain tone and change the course of the conversation.[/*]
  • Show off your connections and get access to people and places.
    [/*]
  • And flip off anyone who's earned it.[/*]
