About Your Future Self
You have been trapped in a time loop with your future self. They have committed a terrible crime in the near future, and the only way you can escape the loop is to convince them of the wrongness of their actions.
As you progress in your conversation with your future self, it becomes very apparent that something is amiss. Someone is lying to you. The question is: who? And why?
If you want to be free, make sure you figure out the truth.
Think carefully. Think strategically.
...and good luck.
Features
- Mind bending, yet personal story: You are stuck in a time loop with your future self, and are told you have to convince them they were wrong for a crime they committed in the near future. What was their crime? Who trapped you in this loop? And, most importantly, how can you escape?
- Gameplay mechanics as a puzzle: There is no tutorial. You need to be as convincing as possible when talking to your future self, but figuring out the mechanics of how to achieve this (and figuring out how the time loop affects gameplay) is a puzzle in itself, and an inherent part of the game's challenge.
- Unique aesthetics: The game visually harks back to the aesthetics of retro text adventures but repeatedly breaks out of genre norms to shock and surprise.
- Atmospheric soundtrack: Varied and memorable chiptune soundtrack. A moody, modern update on 8-bit soundtracks of old.
Your Future Self is a 1-2 hour long story-driven experimental text adventure with unique conversational mechanics, time loop based gameplay, and a gripping, suspenseful, emotionally charged narrative that touches on politically important topics such as climate change, refugee crises, and mental illness. It harks back to the aesthetics of text-based adventure games whilst deliberately bending the genre into something unique.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise this short game for its compelling, well-written story that includes memorable twists, complemented by a distinctive retro 90s aesthetic in visuals and music reminiscent of the Alien films. However, the game is notably obscure and doesn't make a strong impression on some players, with a few noting it's a brief experience rather than groundbreaking, though those who engage with it find it thought-provoking and worth recommending.
https://youtu.be/099UmjjgIgc Despite some painful presentation choices and odd gameplay the narrative loop highlight relevant themes and is compelling to read.
It's a pretty good short game with a great story that does twist you around in some ways and the music is not bad so are the visuals with its old 90's computer like style showing honestly reminding me of the movie Aliens and how their terminals looked.
Its amazing. I haven't seen a story this well written in years.
I don't know why I have this game. I apparently played it the day it came out but I don't remember the contents of it at all and it's just been sitting in my steam library for 6 years. It's really obscure and doesn't look that much like something I'd be interested in so I have no clue why I bought it. I really vaguely remember playing it, but I have no idea what the circumstances would be for me to end up playing it in the first place. I don't recommend this game, but I also don't want to bring down the overall rating for a game I know almost nothing about because that'd be a ♥♥♥♥ move so I gave it a positive rating.
The reviews are quite harsh. It's a short game, nothing groundbreaking but a good time nonetheless
Yes.
