Am I Nima
About Am I Nima
You wake up in a basement that is both closed and unknown to you in the strange and unsettling world of Am I Nima, with no memory of your past and no embrace of a name. Your only companion is the dawning sense of dread. In this psychological horror game, your understanding of self and language is put to the test as you deal with your captor, a woman who paradoxically says she is your mother. But who is she? And more importantly, are you Nima?
Gameplay Description
The core mechanic of Am I Nima is not combat or survival, but conversation. Players collect object-related words scattered through the environment and then use them to form statements, questions, or philosophical thoughts. These mixtures mold your behavior and gradually synthesize fragments of your identity.
Every interaction you have captures countless possibilities to unveil memories or evoke unsettling memories. This can also cloud your reality, pulling you deeper into a web of deception. All in all, a sequential story is formed by the manipulation of feelings, words, and the mind.
