About You And I
You and I is a comedic, abstract FMV that offers a choose your own adventure style narrative following Mark as he gets lost in the woods with his friend Ace. However, the more time the two spend together, the stranger the two become. Make decisions based on the fractured relationship between Mark and Ace to understand what is really happening.Navigating through the woods takes between 15 minutes and 1 hour, depending on how deeply you engage with the story and choices. The gameplay is designed for meaningful exploration, and is built around three core systems:
- Two-Choice Decision System: Allowing for simple branching narratives, and easy ways of back-tracking.
- Skippable Replays: Already seen a scene? You can skip them to keep the pace flowing without losing context.
- Plentiful "Endings": While there are multiple unique paths and route endings to discover, the game ultimately concludes with a single, pivotal decision that determines the final outcome and reflects the full journey you’ve taken.
- Directed by Juan Ablan and Written by Juan Ablan and Kai Hugessen
- Acting performances by Ved Ballary (Mark) and Kai Hugessen (Ace)
- Edited by Juan Ablan and Ciara Murray

Worth a play, wish skipping already played scenes was a bit faster though
"If The Truth Is Yours, Then The Truth Is That Everything Is... Weird." After 100%-ing this game in 2.2 hours, I can confidently say that 'You And I' is one of the strangest free experiences I've played in a while. It's an FMV choose-your-own-adventure following Mark and Ace through the woods, but describing the plot feels like trying to explain a dream you barely remember. The acting is insanely engaging, the writing has both comedy with unsettling moments, and the branching paths made me want to keep replaying until every achievement was unlocked. The game isn't long, but it doesn't need to be. Every route adds a new piece to the puzzle, even when the puzzle itself seems determined to change it's mold with every addition. For a free game, there's been a massive amount of care put into the story, and that boasts it's replayability. My only warning: if you're looking for a straightforward story, you going to be leaving the forest with more questions than answers. Giving this a 9.5/10
after losing blackjack i found out they like each other, still calling bs how i dont win blackjack besides that its nice indie tell tale project even with small budget
I found You and I surprisingly philosophical. It explores ideas about connection and perspective in a simple but thoughtful way. I especially enjoyed the forest setting, which added a calm, immersive atmosphere to the experience. It really made me feel like understanding others and yourself is a journey, not a straight line. While it’s not overly complex, it still leaves you reflecting on its themes. Definitely not bad at all for a free game, worth a try if you enjoy games with a bit of meaning behind them.
Really fantastic FMV game. Funny, poignant, enjoyable to play. Makes you want to replay it until you've seen it all.
that is very interesting
