The Company of Myself

The Company of Myself is another in a growing line of introspective, alternately comic and melancholy platform-puzzlers of which Use Boxmen, Time Kfuc and Colour My World are prominent examples. This one's definitely more melancholy than comic, starring a sad little black-hatted figure whose post-traumatic-break-up isolation requires that he quite literally duplicate himself to succeed.

Use the arrow keys to move and jump. The game records your actions as you go, and you can use these little "playbacks" - activated by hitting space - to overcome obstacles one man alone would find unmanageable e.g. employing a clone to open a door while you scamper through, and vice versa.

Needless to say it gets pretty complicated further in. Bit downbeat for a Monday morning, but there you go.
