Hi everyone! Thanks so much for showing an interest in Your Future Self. It's my first ever game, so I'm a bit nervous (and a bit excited) about releasing it. As it stands right now there will only be a Windows version at launch on the 7th, but I'll be releasing Mac and Linux versions shortly after. Also, I'm hoping to have achievements ready for launch, but cloud saves will probably also have to come after. Saying all that, if I'm particularly productive next week then all of this will be complete by the 7th. So yeah, who knows? For some reason the price isn't visible in Steam yet, but I'm planning to release it for 3.99/$4.99/4.99, with a 15% launch discount for the first week. Anyway, thanks again. See you on the 7th!

- Your Future Self Linux Content [187.32 M]
It seems you have no choice but to follow their instructions, but that doesn't mean you should believe everything they say. 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.
