About The Name I Wear

✦ AI summary

The Name I Wear is a first-person narrative puzzle game where you assume different identities by creatively writing names using objects found throughout a Morocco-inspired riad to unlock story progression and character abilities. Explore this beautifully hand-painted environment, gather environmental clues, and use your wit to discover unconventional ways to form names that reveal the truth.

Play as a spy in a first-person narrative puzzle game. Writing a name allows you to take on that identity. Explore a riad, gather clues, and uncover the truth. With no pen at your disposal, creatively and unexpectedly use the environment to form names and change identities.KEY FEATURES1/ Characters act as “keys” to progress through the story2/ Clues to discover in the environment to make progress3/ Each character has a unique ability4/ Various original objects to creatively write a name5/ A playground that gradually opens upART & MUSIC
The soundtrack mostly revolves around the jazz noire ambient genre (pads, saxophone, double bass and piano), with North African instruments (Oud, handpan...) The sound design is minimalistic, allowing for key sound features to blend into the music. Set in a Morocco-inspired riad, the art direction follows a semi-realistic style, having realistic shapes but with black outlines and a handpainted texturing effect, giving a comic book feel.

✦ AI summary

The Name I Wear offers an atmospheric adventure with clever puzzles, compelling storytelling, and striking old-world artwork that players consistently praise. However, most reviewers agree the game is disappointingly short, with several wishing for additional chapters or length to match the quality of its presentation. Some players also report visibility issues in darker areas that can make progression difficult without guides, though the core experience of solving puzzles and uncovering the mystery remains engaging for those who can see it clearly.

The game is great, that there is only one issue with it. It is just too short. The atmosphere, the old artwork aesthetic, the music and voice acting, the story and the puzzles. They are all great for a student project. This game is a hidden Gem. Pun intended. Nomen/10

I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself for an hour or so if you like adventure games, as the puzzles are satisfying to solve once you have all the pieces and the environment, so I conclude from peer review, is rather good looking. I'm specifying my source for opinion for environment comes from watching others because, against reasonable assumption, I couldn't see most of that environment for myself, and that is because, for whatever reason, whatever wasn't illuminated by lamps was completely unreadable for me. I'm attaching my PC specifications in case my hardware is to blame, but for all intents and purposes, I only got to an ending through sheer force of luck and would surely never manage to complete the game without an internet guide. In short: game's pretty okay, as long as you have a good setup for it.

You know that feeling where you wake up from a dream with the thought and feeling of, "What on Earth just happened?" That's how this game felt. It was fun. The puzzles were clever and it always pointed you in the direction of the puzzle answer it never held your hand too much. I enjoyed the whole experience and though the twist wasn't very twisty it left me with several questions that I don't know if I want the answer to. (That being a good thing in this case.) The entire landscape, visuals, sound design including soundtrack, was wonderful.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

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.
