what's your name?

Description

What's Your Name? is a semi-fictional visual novel that dives into the real-life experience of legally changing one's name. Set in the summer of 2019, the game captures the bureaucratic maze, the conversations with officials, and the emotional wait behind the process. Created for UCLA's GEMS class under Professor Danny Snelson, it also serves as a personal tribute to the author's own journey. Players navigate through authentic details, from paperwork to personal reflections, making it both a storytelling and educational experience. The game features original art, writing, and code, complemented by Sxilin's sound design and BBC audio effects. Available in Russian thanks to exgames, it offers a unique cross-cultural perspective. If you enjoyed this project, consider showing your support with a coffee on Kofi, following the author on Twitter or Twitch, and exploring the Russian versión via the provided link. This game is a heartfelt blend of creativity and real-world exploration. Experience the story and share your thoughts with the community.
