A downloadable story

Imagine one day you wake up in a man’s body. You could not remember who you are. The new reality for you is that you are Michael, a philosophy professor at the University of Cambridge. You try to live Michael’s life: giving lectures, supervisions, and talks at conferences. Even though you know nothing about philosophy, people agree with whatever you say. Gradually, you discover the complicated relationships around Michael between academics and students. In the meantime, you find your past overlaps with Michael's... Can you get back to your body? Can you handle the secrets you will discover? Will your path cross with Michael’s? All these questions are left for the player to discover.

About the Ren'Py Remake

We came up with the original idea of criticising the philosophy academia in January 2020. Later we became participants of Tranzfuser 2020, where we received a budget. Due to the development was publisher-oriented, we had to control the length of the prototype and be gameplay focused. The prototype failed to attract further funding from Tranzfuser; nevertheless, we still want to continue the development, maintain a player's community and even try to get some crowd funding. Therefore, the team decided to make a fans-oriented remake of the game in a relatively low price, to reveal more of the story in Ren'Py engine. The gameplay is yet not included in this Remake.
