its a metaphor about a trans guy(assumedly) was "replaced" by a fake version of himself by his mother who refused to accept him so he "killed" them (which could be a metaphor for lashing out or something similar and talking to her about himself more or less peacefully)
i really like this!! I won't spoiler it for newcomers, but the twist was really good!!!! The game was short and sweet (more like bitter sweet lol...) and i really liked the metaphors for parents who would rather try to shape their kid into something they want. Rather than actually having a relationship with them. i love this!!!!!!!
Joking aside, if this is the trajectory AI development is taking, it is crucial that we reassess and halt its progress immediately. The potential risks and unintended consequences could have far-reaching implications, and it is our responsibility to ensure that AI advancements are aligned with ethical standards and societal well-being.
Haha, you caught me! That’s exactly the point. I guess I’ve been influenced by the very AI I’m warning about! Who knows, maybe next I’ll be asking you to rate my ethical concerns on a scale from 1 to “send help.”
Wow. Just wow. It's an amazing game, working like an interactive story, and having some of the best storytelling I have seen in a very long time. I also loved the pixel art aspect of the game. Really added some aesthetic!

Phenomenal story packed in 7 minutes - Dead Names

Can some one e explain to me what happened in the story
Not really but I think the mom realised that her son who died didnt need to be replaced, so she shot the android to stop the pain or smth, idk

Holy god, so much emotional impact in such a short story. Very well done!
As a trans man AND a kid who grew up deathly ill with a controlling mom, I relate hard to both parts of the story D: Damn. Just damn.
AS A TRANS PERSON THIS IS AN AMAZING GAME
Wonderful. Absolutely destroyed me. Felt like a punch in the gut
Nice game!
punched me in my unexpecting family ass face

even though i don't understand the story all too much, the gameboy art style or game genre on here is my favorite. :>
i need more of this
That was interesting
God this is horrifying
as a trans man myself i love this piece of art, i will forever remember it.
that was beautiful, really showed us humanity's twisted fate, and how we try to escape it
Que interesante😀
Very interesting story and style!
That was wonderful
I love this so much. Incredibly impactful speculative sci-fi in a 10 minute long package. I aspire to make art this good lol <3
i hardly ever cry but this made me tear up a little :(
WOW
I've stumbled upon this completely randomly and I loved it
This destroyed me in its 10 minute runtime, well done devs
