Beside Myself

About

You take control of Michael, a journalist searching for answers in a decaying hospital. Explore crumbling hallways, uncover documents, and piece together why the facility was abandoned. The gameplay leans on environmental storytelling and methodical investigation, with no combat or time limits. Most of your time is spent moving between rooms, clicking on objects to reveal clues and audio logs. The game's tense, eerie tone comes through in its sound design and slow-burn pacing. Reviews from 2021 highlight its unsettling atmosphere and layered narrative. While it lacks puzzles or interactivity beyond basic exploration, the fragmented story of past tragedies keeps the experience from feeling passive. Available on PC since 2021, it’s a short but deliberate experience for those into quiet, character-focused tales.
