One's Own Exile

One's Own Exile is a narrative exploration game in which you must abandon your identity in order to escape across the border without being noticed.

One's Own Exile was initially developed for a Game Jam competition. It is a short narrative experience that tells the tale of Sybil, an outcast in the region where she lives, which when pursued by the local guards needs to find a way to escape a tragic fate by concealing her identity. The game reflects upon what builds one’s identity, values and memories. How painful it is to sacrifice everything you hold dear, if the purpose is survival? Which one is better: the pain of unceasing struggle or the death that follows failure?
