My Better Half

What if you began to doubt that you are who you believe yourself to be? You begin to pay closer attention to your daily habits in order to reassure yourself that there’s nothing wrong; everything will be okay. You eat your breakfast methodically, you brush your teeth carefully, and you examine yourself closely in the mirror – after all, mirrors never lie. …Or do they? The game "My Better Half" is a side-scroller fighter with puzzle elements,and is one to two players.Inside the ritual, you are split into your two strongest natures, passive and aggressive. You will journey with your other self in a ritualistic attempt to make yourself whole. Whether you make it through the trials or not is up to you, and your fortitude and determination will be closely observed. Only the best of the best may pass the test, and come together with your better half.
