Self-Portrait, Vomit on Concrete

About

Self-Portrait, Vomit on Concrete is an adventure game from Air Gong that blends visual novel elements with interactive storytelling. You follow a woman navigating the chaos of panic attacks and intrusive thoughts in the aftermath of her birthday. The experience unfolds through branching dialogue and environmental details, letting you piece together her emotional struggles in a non-linear way. Short but dense, it uses simple mechanics to mirror the disorienting nature of anxiety. The game’s raw subject matter and minimalist approach have drawn attention for its candid portrayal of mental health challenges. While still fresh on web browsers since June 2024, early players note its impact comes from quiet moments rather than grand set pieces. Air Gong’s follow-up to past experimental titles shows a clear focus on personal narrative over spectacle. At under two hours, it’s a quick but heavy experience that lingers.
