About Notes To Myself

✦ AI summary

Navigate a nightmarish world blurring reality and hallucination, solving puzzles and fleeing grotesque fears while questioning what's real. This psychological horror game traps you between institutional confinement and a sedative-induced alternate dimension with no guaranteed escape.

"I'm writing to myself so they won't find my words..."

Notes To Myself is a first-person horror game where you must navigate and escape from the embodiments of your worst fears. Pull switches, collect flashlights and run from demons in an unsettling world that exists between reality, your nightmares and your OS.

So, you want to escape from the control of your keepers? Maybe the inspections have been getting a little "too much" for you, or you wonder if you'll ever stop scratching the day counts into the wall/wrist? It ain't so simple, I'm afraid, since you are unable to function in the "real world" and you've been sedated for so long it is impossible to tell what is real and what is fantasy.

Well, let's break it down: when you are scratched, the scratch doesn't hurt, but you interpret it as pain, yes? So is this world, reality on the outside but the horrors of the world on the inside... or is it? Maybe all of those sedatives actually made you pass into the "other world" where there really isn't any escape?

Fortunately for you, the player can always reset the game, and maybe you'll be safe... or be trapped forever until the next update?

Notes To Myself is an experimental first-person psychological horror game that builds its identity around fear, confusion, and the gradual collapse of the boundary between reality and imagination. Developed and published by Spy On The Wall, it takes a relatively straightforward horror framework and surrounds it with a deliberately unsettling narrative. Rather than relying on complex combat or elaborate progression systems, the experience concentrates on exploration, disturbing encounters, environmental interaction, and the feeling that the protagonist can no longer trust what they are seeing. The story places considerable emphasis on an unstable perception of reality. The protagonist has experienced isolation, sedation, inspections, and the influence of mysterious keepers, creating an atmosphere of captivity and paranoia. Their thoughts are recorded through notes, giving the narrative a personal quality while suggesting that even private memories may not be safe. As the experience unfolds, reality, nightmares, and imagined events increasingly overlap. This ambiguity is one of the game's strongest elements because it leaves players questioning whether the frightening situations the…

I don't know how else to describe this other than a snarky horror game

really fun game to play for an hour while playing with friends! highly recommend for about an hour of gameplay (if you try to get all the badges, which i personally haven't yet)
Not recommended Jul 2, 2025
Yeah, another good mechanic wasted on a bad game. It’s clearly inspired by IMSCARED, but fails to deliver an interesting experience. It’s not scary, and playing it feels like a chore. By the end, you’re left thinking, “Is this it?” The game is so unfulfilling that I had to watch others play it just to make sure I wasn’t missing something.
