Feb. 2025
This is a short visual novel with a surreal and dark atmosphere, centered around the character "You," a man struggling with severe psychological disorders and stress, believing he has a terminal physical illness. The story is heavily influenced by writers like Kafka and Camus , focusing on existential anxiety, the pressures of daily life, and the struggle to find meaning in a seemingly pointless world. Story Summary: The protagonist, "You," navigates through three days and three different chapters, facing choices that lead to various endings. Most of these endings reflect his inner fears and anxieties, such as the fear of death, loss of identity, and the futile search for meaning. The game frequently references nosebleeds and drinking bloody coffee, symbolizing his fragile mental state. Unlike many visual novels, this game deliberately leaves much of its story ambiguous, with most paths leading to dead ends or grim conclusions, and only one truly "good" ending. Why the Game Feels Confusing: Unlike Nikita Kaf’s other works, such as Monsters of Little Haven , which has a more cohesive and linear narrative, My Name is You uses a nonlinear and fragmented structure. Each restart reveals new details, and the constant shift between first-person and third-person perspectives adds to the confusion. The monotonous narrator and repetitive gameplay further amplify this sense of disorientation. Key Themes: Existential Anxiety and Nihilism: Inspired by existentialist philosophy, "You" is trapped in a cycle of meaninglessness, trying to escape but always returning to the same point. Self-Destruction and Mental Illness: Many of "You’s" choices stem from self-loathing and fear, with most endings reflecting his psychological collapse. Identity and Reality: Naming the protagonist "You" is a deliberate choice to immerse the player and force them to confront different facets of his identity through each decision. Positives: An incredible soundtrack, with a unique and emotional song for each ending. A dark, unsettling atmosphere created through grainy visuals and minimalist design. A nonlinear structure that encourages players to explore all endings for a deeper understanding. Negatives: Lack of quality-of-life features, like skipping already-seen dialogues, makes replaying the story tedious. The English translation feels dry and awkward at times, losing some of the story’s subtlety. Disjointed storytelling with abrupt endings that often lack clear resolutions. If you loved Monsters of Little Haven for its strong narrative and character development, it's understandable why My Name is You might feel disappointing. This game prioritizes mood, existential themes, and repetitive cycles over a cohesive story, which can be frustrating if you're expecting a more traditional narrative experience.

I spent a really nice evening playing this game, and though it might seem a bit underwhelming after the first ending, pushing through and trying to explore You's life to unlock every ending is satisfying. Some of the metaphors used by this game stuck with me, and the whole experience was interesting !

An amazing game to take a break from your usual games, and to take your mind off of your worries and focus on the story of the game instead. Especially if you're an overthinker or are going through so much in life, this game will probably feel like a nice breeze that will cool your mind a little. The "multiple endings" system could've been executed and shown much better with more effort, but the story itself is nice and deep, and you really need to focus on it to understand it and the character, that's also why it will be a nice break from your everyday usual life. The music and soundtrack is also pretty good

It's uh... nice for the price. I like the originality and as regrettable as this sounds many aspects strangely hit too close to home so that's bonus points haha. Some reviews say the English version was lost in translation but I don't know Russian so I... dunno. But this game needs heavy improvement on mechanics and design. No dialogue log, very slow transition, text placement and visual effects that hurt the eyes more than doing justice for the themes. I got two endings and have to go on YouTube for the rest cuz my head was spinning from the flicker like You. The story flow is not exactly ideal, I like that we slowly uncover more and more through replaying but some endings feel cut short and unnecessary. Overall it's a nice little game and somewhat enjoyable, I guess. I still recommend it out of good faith but please dev please do something about the design :(

If you don’t mind a game that’s in black and white and narration at its own pace, then you’ll really enjoy this game. This is the type of game where you sit back and let the game tell its story. Quite literally. This game has many endings and every single one of them is interesting or evening shocking. The soundtrack during each ending is also pretty cool. That was half of the enjoyment for me. I enjoyed even whipping out a pen and paper to keep track of all the endings I got. Still pretty easy to get all the achievements on this game even though there’s not really any guides out there. Overall, I think this game is kinda a masterpiece. It’s a pretty unique one if you’re definitely looking for a game like no other.
