A narrative-driven adventure, Dissolution of My Self, has players hooked with its immersive storytelling. The story, a key focus, receives high praise, while gameplay and audio also contribute to a positive experience. However, with a 96% positive reception, some performance and content-related issues emerge as areas for improvement.

What it's about: A prince who has lost his kingdom and everything else. His uncle and aide-de-camp, unable to leave him. In a cramped rented room abroad, click on objects and piece together a codependent relationship filled with brutality and endurance. Watch helplessness turn into violence, tenderness into torture.
