Metempsychosis

A short, meditative game for two, after Yokoyama Taikan's Metempsychosis. Written for the Gaming Like It's 1923 Jam.

"Metempsychosis invites players to step into a liminal space where they can meet, touch, and finally speak to their past selves. Whether those encounters are beautiful or vicious is entirely in the hands of the players, and the game presents unique opportunities for healing or rupture, cauterization of old wounds or reopening them. It forces players to confront the question: what would you say to your former self? It's quiet, harrowing, and deeply personal."  — Natalie Zina Walschots, author of Thumbscrews and DOOM: Love Poems for Supervillains
