If you've ever struggled with the morals of your choices, felt invisible while the storm raged inside, forced to put a mask on while you wished being yourself were enough, you'll relate to Cassandra in Misgiven. #indiegame

MISGIVEN is a sci-fi adventure about 🔴 the lump in your throat 🔴

☠️ Stranded in a city veiled in toxic fog
🎭 Impersonate a stranger by wearing their mask to survive
⚠️ Find allies as a harbinger of doom
👉💭 Wrestle with your thoughts in an emotionally-weighted dialogue system

Thanks #PitchYaGame!

At the @amazefest.bsky.social all weekend cause it's the best games fest ever, hands down! Say hi if you see us 🙂 Thanks @klngbhn.bsky.social for taking like 8 versions of this photo until we could all manage to not simultaneously have our eyes closed and make contorted expressions 😁

Watching @derdcp.bsky.social from @amazefest.bsky.social so we don't miss a thing 😅 (yes on that tiny phone) - with @ancastasia.bsky.social @janib.bsky.social Sophie Zeilfelder Soapbox Interactive @cheffmd.bsky.social

This is the kind of review you're asking for when you call your asset "tasty", I guess? 🤔😂
Anyway version 2.2.3 is out at tgs.symmetrybreak.com 🌿

Steam's kidding with how tiny and low vis this is, right? Who can even see that this is a link and know that the demo page is open for public reviews if they're not already aware of this new feature? Oof hope they improve this soon 😅 #gamedev
February 10, 2025 at 11:11 AM
After half a year of hesitation, we finally opened up the review page for Misgiven's demo (thank you so much @hedapark.bsky.social for the encouragement)!

If you played it and felt it, support the game by leaving a public review ❤️

That insane rush when your exact target audience notices your game 😶 @hedapark.bsky.social thank you so so much for writing this, we've been absolutely floored to the point of not knowing how to respond ever since we saw it yesterday 😭

Yes they give lesbians in Misgiven, maybe even on purpose 🫢

2024 has sure been a crazy year for our studio! 😅
We wrote this post to sum up our highlights with our wip game Misgiven and our journey in general, as well as the challenges we faced along the way:

We were asked today if the vapor was toxic 💀 Alright next event we release noxious gases around the booth and force players to wear a breathing mask (and any unfortunate to be exhibiting nearby) like in the game 🌝 Time to get banned from events for life & arrested for #gamedev #Misgiven #indiegames
October 12, 2024 at 6:42 PM
We will be exhibiting Misgiven at Polaris Con this Friday to Sunday, alongside lots of other games, manga, cosplay and live shows!
