Beside myself is a first-person psychological thriller. Explore an abandoned hospital, gradually revealing all the secrets of the past that can lead you to genuine horror.
WARNING: This video game can cause photosensitive epilepsy in susceptible people. Reasonable limitation of the gaming audience is recommended.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The main focus of the game is on the exploration process, as the tension slowly builds up, creating an even fuller and more intense presence.
ABOUT THIS GAME:
The game takes place in a huge abandoned hospital, where, many years ago, terrible experiments were performed and vaccines were tested on thousands of people against their will. You have to understand that not only you are in the hospital, it's your choice to accept the rules of the game or not. From this moment the survival game will begin.
Once historian and journalist Michael received a letter by e-mail from an unknown addressee, with an interesting story about a hospital that worked in the post-war period. Information about it is still carefully hidden and is classified as "top secret". In order to check the interesting material, Michael goes to the coordinates indicated in the letter in order to personally verify and make a sensational report. You have to find out all the secrets of this place. Imbued with fear, torture, blood, a long-abandoned hospital turns into a place of lost souls … The hospital is a creature that feeds on the energy of the living, absorbing it quickly and greedily. Once inside its walls, he will do everything to make you lose yourself forever.

Review:
God, that jump scare at the picture was brutal!
I see that the engine you are using is somewhat limiting in terms of animation and gameplay. A lot of things are a little repetitive, but gets the message across. The game actually turns out quite scary, and I quite like the small puzzle parts of the game.
I wonder, what if I waste all my pictures before I reach the first cross? Am I just stuck?
In terms of story, I saw a nice start, I would love to see this expanded a lot more in the full release!
I see you use the same template as the game "Siren Head: Resurrection", which you should really try, he managed to use this template in so many creative ways, if you need inspiration that is a great place to look!
Anyway, great experience!

Review:
Whelp, I seem to have found a way around it. With a little leeway and incline it is possible to fly directly to the ledge and skip the bugged platforms. Now, as mentioned in my previous comment, the game has some bugs ;))))))), nah seriously, it needs a little tweaking here and there. I had to restart the game four times in total. Once when I exited the map, a second time when the platforms bugged, a third time as it is very hard to climb the ladder and you may not realize that is the next objective. The lever is out of sight and the button really makes it seems like it is for opening the door that later gives you access to them camera module. I assumed it was bugged, and restarted, only to randomly realize that the ladder actually is climbable and that there is a lever above the door. Then I had to restart a fourth time, as I assumed the ending was bugged too. I now assume that the ending is the AI realizing the you are just a bug, and that he is all alone. I have waited for quite a while and ran all over the map (back to the beginning and back to the AI), but nothing changed. If this is indeed the ending, it would be quite nice with a stronger indication of such, so that you do not go explore for a nonexistent ending for a while.
These issues aside, the game was great. Great art-style and short, yet very impressive, sad and funny little story! Though nothing much or special was going on with the audio, it was quite nice and very much fitting! The atmosphere was great and if not for the struggles and restarting, it is a very immersive game! As far as I can see (I have only checked out the other games by their descriptions and images), this is the best game of the Games Programming Challenge 2021. Great work!
