About This Game

An introvert's experience in an extroverts' world

Misgiven is an emotional 2D sci-fi adventure game about the lump in your throat and how difficult it can be to open up to others.

As a space adventurer stranded in a city of masks and unbreathable fog, you come across the mask of an explorer, whose role you'll have to play to stay alive and deliver a warning no one wants to hear. But how well can you pretend to be someone else, and how far will you go?

Experience the world through the mask of a stranger

• Wear Kasturi's mask and pretend you're her to survive.

• Investigate her past, discover her social circle and find out what happened to her.

• Take on her role in order to save the city, or let the mask slip.

Wrestle with your words and make meaningful choices

As a lonely space explorer in an identity crisis, your social anxiety makes it difficult to open up to others.

• Dialogue options - your thoughts - have different emotional weights.

• Your openness to another person can change over time, and new topics can become available.

• Play it safe and stick to small-talk, or try to squeeze in difficult topics for a chance to connect deeply, and risk being misunderstood.

Explore a city shrouded in mystery

You are stranded in the city of Koriol - built on the rim of a giant crater, veiled in toxic fog.

• Get lost in hazy, neon-lit streets.

• Exchange your mask's air filter to survive in the fog.

• Visit rundown night clubs and floating temples.

• Try to make this place your home.

Express yourself with holographic emotes

• Acquire an entire holographic emote inventory.

• Convey a certain tone and change the course of the conversation.

• Show off your connections and get access to people and places.

• And flip off anyone who's earned it.
