Journey of Growth Alongside the Shadows of the Past
 
During gameplay, players must cooperate with their "shadows of the past," with the protagonist coexisting with her self from two seconds ago, solving layered puzzles and advancing the story. By constantly using, evading, and eventually embracing the past, each mechanism change will bring players a different puzzle-solving experience. Additionally, the game features multiple chapters that unfold the protagonist's different stages of self-discovery.

Narrative and Puzzles Intertwined, Unraveling the Hidden Truths
 
The game cleverly intertwines narrative and puzzle-solving, with each piece of storytelling accompanying the player through every level. While these narrative texts seem to tell a story, upon solving the puzzles and reflecting back, players will discover that most of these narrative texts are actually puns. Besides narrating the protagonist's story, they also hint at the puzzle-solving approach for that level. As it turns out, the answers have always been hidden within the puzzles themselves.

Seamless Integration of Music and Emotions, Immersive Gaming Experience
 
In addition to its unique gameplay, "With My Past" meticulously crafts original music for each segment. Every theme BGM perfectly sets the scene's atmosphere, enhances emotions, and provides players with a more immersive gaming experience.

"With My Past" has previously won awards such as the 2023 CUSGA Best Narrative Design Award and the 2023 indiePlay Silver Award for Best Student Work. At renowned domestic indie game exhibitions, the game has garnered unanimous praise and recognition from players and industry professionals alike.
