Conspiracy Theories About Myself
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Conspiracy Theories About Myself is an autobiographical game about self-acceptance, social anxiety and being trans. In CTAM, everyone is staring at you and you must make it home from the laundromat without crying.
It is a cooperative game intended for two players, in which each player controls one eye. (It can also be played by one talented multitasker.) Average playing time is 10-20 minutes.
Conspiracy Theories About Myself was commissioned for Death by Audio Arcade's custom-build arcade cabinet, DreamboxXx, which is permanently housed at The Dreamhouse, a queer community space, in Queens, NYC. It also features the work of 8 other NYC based queer game devs.
