About My name is You and it's the only unusual thing in my life

✦ AI summary

My name is You and it's the only unusual thing in my life is a narrative-driven game where you navigate a seemingly ordinary character through branching choices that reveal existential dread beneath mundane routine. Multiple playthroughs with over 10 endings and unique soundtracks let you piece together the full story across different paths, each decision fracturing reality in new and unsettling ways.

This is a novel with multiple plot lines, in which you only get to witness only a couple of days of a character who’s name is You. It may seem that except for his name, his life is nothing exceptional. That is if it wasn’t for a chain of events that fluctuate between his daily routine and an existential terror of reiteration. What is the most important part? It’s you and You facing inevitability.

This is you, and this – is You. Both of you have something in common – exceptionality in a monotonous moment of time, when meaningless decisions have to be made. Or meaningful, to such an extent, that there is nothing left once they are made. Who knows what awaits you around the corner – will you go to work in a continuous, 'almost-holiday' fever or wander in a labyrinth of crooked mirrors? Except for his name, it seems our character’s life is nothing more than unexceptional – there’s no room for miracles or cobwebs. The room is filled with office papers, some vaguely familiar family members, an ailing story of sensation, a couple of dropped lines and a sharp drop – a circle, inside and outside of which you and You wander. Open the letter, pick up the phone, speak up or step aside – and this story will gain new fractures and reflections.

Features:
  • Unique atmosphere and visual art that fully convey the gloomy mood of the novel
  • More than 10 alternative endings
  • Special soundtrack for each finale
  • Offbeat structure of the plot: the full story can be put together, only if a player lives through every possible situation

✦ AI summary

My name is You and it's the only unusual thing in my life is praised by players for its engaging, emotionally resonant story with interconnected narrative elements and atmospheric presentation through music and sound design, though opinions diverge sharply on execution. Common complaints include weak English voice acting that breaks immersion, frustrating design choices like unskippable credits that repeatedly interrupt flow when restarting chapters, and choices that feel inconsequential to the actual story progression.

This game has a special place in my heart. I've had it in my library since 2020. I haven't played it until today. I had a friend, named Jackson. Jackson played this game in its entirety and begged me to play it. "It's a really good story, if you have the patience to play it all the way through." In April of 2021 Jackson took his own life. I hadn't touched this game. Not when he asked me to, nor after he had passed. I finally decided to play it today and it left me wanting much more. My name is You and it's the only unusual thing in my life. The story is inter-connected in a well, and thought out manner. A story that makes you question the right choices as well as makes you question who "You" truly is, and what is truly going on. A phenomenal game that really tugs on your emotions, if you let it.

personally i find the story super engaging although ruined by the (english) voice acting. part of me feels the game should not be narrated to let the player fall into the world and story - the background music, sound effects, and general atmosphere is good enough. i'm enjoying figuring out how the story unfolds. it is also a bit unintuitive with how if you fail to progress, you go through credits all over again, unable to skip them in their entirety, which wouldn't have been that big of a problem if the game was long, but you're pretty much stuck reading credits every 10 minutes, breaking immersion completely.

The choices didn't feel especially meaningful, most of them would end the chapter with just a few lines of dialogue, and whenever "You" dies you have to restart a chapter in its entirety, having to wait at least half a second between progressing each line you've already read. I had assumed the gimmick being that the main character is named "You" would lead to some kind of humorous wordplay or a riddle or something, but it comes up once in dialogue and that's the extent of it. I am saddened that user-defined tags for this game are also incorrect. I don't think this is a "Choices Matter" game, and it's certainly not "Horror" (unless, I suppose, I missed the horror somewhere in skipping over dialogue I've read before.) The main character dies a lot, but the story seems to treat this as humorous more than impactful. Wish steam had a neutral review option, but as I did not find myself enjoying this game, I will leave a negative review. For the price, I will hardly tell you not to try it.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
