Game Release Date: TBA
2024 – My Imaginary Friend is not your typical first-person shooter. In this analog horror masterpiece, players are thrust into a world where the lines between imagination, reality, and terror blur. The game’s chilling premise is built upon the eerie foundations of the Mandela Catalogue, a popular horror series known for its unsettling analog aesthetic and disturbing psychological themes. Here, players must not only survive against enemies but also unravel intricate puzzles to progress through the nightmare. And lurking at the heart of this horror? An AI companion, designed to be your "friend" but twisted into a terrifying presence that knows your deepest fears.
The story of My Imaginary Friend begins innocently enough. You play as a character who was once a lonely child, using their imagination to cope with the isolation. Like many, you created imaginary friends for comfort. But in this world, your imagination is no longer your own.
While the core of My Imaginary Friend revolves around first-person shooter mechanics, combat alone won't save you. Survival hinges on your ability to solve complex puzzles that tie directly into the haunting narrative. Each level requires a blend of quick thinking, exploration, and puzzle-solving to progress. The puzzles aren’t just obstacles; they’re psychological tests that reflect your deepest fears and anxieties, challenging your perceptions of reality.

Fans of the Mandela Catalogue will feel right at home in My Imaginary Friend, as the game fully embraces the uncanny, analog horror aesthetic.

By blending childhood imagination with the dread of losing control to technology, the game creates an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and terrifying.
As you unravel the sinister mystery lurking in the shadows, you'll confront a reality where nothing is safe. You'll have to hide, run, and face unsettling memories of your past. Remember, they exist in different spectrums—on our televisions, in our mirrors, and possibly in our games. Do everything you can to keep your friend from crossing into reality.
