About the Game

The Name I Wear is a student-made game created in around 40 days by ISART Digital students as part of their final-year project, giving them the opportunity to put their skills and learning into practice. We hope you enjoy the experience they have created for you!

-------------

Play as a spy in a first-person narrative puzzle game. Writing a name allows you to take on that identity. Explore a riad, gather clues, and uncover the truth. With no pen at your disposal, creatively and unexpectedly use the environment to form names and change identities.

KEY FEATURES

1/ Characters act as “keys” to progress through the story

2/ Clues to discover in the environment to make progress

3/ Each character has a unique ability

4/ Various original objects to creatively write a name

5/ A playground that gradually opens up

ART & MUSIC

The soundtrack mostly revolves around the jazz noire ambient genre (pads, saxophone, double bass and piano), with North African instruments (Oud, handpan...) The sound design is minimalistic, allowing for key sound features to blend into the music.

Set in a Morocco-inspired riad, the art direction follows a semi-realistic style, having realistic shapes but with black outlines and a handpainted texturing effect, giving a comic book feel.
