About the Game

CliveWareGOLD™ is a corrupted bonus disc from another timeline.

You’re running an unstable early build of STRANGERSHELL_BOOTLOADER v0.9b - scraped from a forgotten backup during pre-release testing of Clive is a Good Guy.

Access is provisional. Possibly irrational.

Expect memory bleed, identity echoes, and unpatched reflections.

Inside, you’ll find: one unreleased film, nine fractured personas, a remnant world map, a pigeon with an agenda - and formats no system should still support.

This is not just a game. It’s a narrative artefact. A clue cache. A glitch-core prelude to something bigger.

Features:

  • Tinker Tailor Stranger Self – Short Film
    A surreal, unseen moment from Clive’s past. A man meets his mirror. And keeps talking.

  • Clive is a Good Guy – Trailer + Lore Map
    Trace the connections. Spot the inconsistencies. The Mirror doesn’t show everything.

  • Meet the Personas – Interactive Music Player
    Choose your soundtrack. Or let the voices do it for you.

  • The Pigeon Letters – Act 1 (Interactive Story)
    A fictional fragment with multiple outcomes — and codes that connect to the full game.

  • Extras, Easter Eggs & Digital Detritus
    Scrubbed files, half-memories, corrupted notes. Everything’s here for a reason. Even the things that don’t open.

Why should you download it?

  • You like free things.

  • You miss the weirdness of old shareware discs.

  • You enjoy fiction that bleeds into the machine.

  • You want to know what Clive tried to hide.

Some formats don’t open anymore. Others never closed properly.

From the makers of Clive is a Good Guy

A next-generation FMV game where nine personas fight for survival inside one man’s mind.

Featuring Neil Bell (Dune, Star Wars: Andor, Peaky Blinders, Adolescence) and a soundtrack by Sano DG (Tekken, Drakengard).

This is where FMV gets dangerous.
