In the game, you will play a troubled girl who is currently facing difficulties due to past wrong choices. To help her overcome regret from the past, you will work with her to solve fable-like puzzles, helping her understand and confront her own past.
 
'With My Past' guides players through a unique gameplay mechanism, requiring cooperation with their "shadows of the past" to unlock layers of puzzles and advance the story. Throughout the game, the protagonist you control coexists with your self from two seconds ago, whether it's using your past self to activate mechanisms or protecting your past self from harm. We believe that each change in the mechanism will bring you a different puzzle-solving experience.


The game is divided into multiple chapters, each corresponding to different stages of the protagonist's understanding of their past self. Each level is a profound exploration of "choice" and "consequence". With the transition of different chapters, the game's mechanics also undergo changes. This unique setup not only increases the game's challenge but also allows players to deeply contemplate the meaning of self-growth, continuously summarize, move forward, and ultimately achieve personal growth and spiritual sublimation.


In addition to its unique gameplay, the game features carefully crafted original music. As the story unfolds, each appearance of the main theme BGM renders the protagonist's emotions and state of mind, providing players with a more immersive gaming experience.


As a creative and deep puzzle game, 'With My Past' has won several awards in the past year, including the 2023 CUSGA (China University Student Game Development Competition) Best Story Design Award and the 2023 indiePlay China Independent Game Competition Best Student Work Silver Award. It has also received acclaim and recognition from many players and industry professionals at well-known domestic independent game exhibitions such as G Fusion and WePlay.
