This platformer explores a robotic mystery
Self Simulated is a premium action game that places you in the metallic body of a robot version of yourself, waking in a high-tech facility with no memory. Guided by a mysterious voice, you must overcome over 100 fast-paced levels while discovering the truth behind your existence, transformation, and the ominous “glitch.”
A robotic journey of self-discovery
Self Simulated enhances classic platforming with fluid mobility like dash attacks, wall climbing, and dodge rolls. Fast retries keep the pace tight, while story fragments hint at a mind transfer mystery. Assist settings and speedrun mode ensure both accessibility and competitive depth.
That said, while the gameplay is responsive and polished, the narrative unfolds slowly, which may not satisfy players looking for immediate story clarity. Still, the unique setting, tight platforming, and Game Boy Color aesthetic create a compelling experience for genre fans. Moreover, this game is still in active development.
For retro platformer enthusiasts
Self Simulated delivers a sleek, skill-based platforming challenge wrapped in an intriguing sci-fi mystery. While the story progression may feel subtle, the game’s mechanical depth, accessibility options, and replay value through speedrun mode make it a strong addition to any retro-inspired library.
