A parody homage to classic RPG Maker horror games where your name will make an impact on the events you encounter as you travel through the abstract environment you have escaped to.

I NEED A NAME is a parody homage to the classic RPG Maker horror games of the 2000's and early 2010's. At the very start you are prompted to enter your name and whatever you type will make an impact on the random events you encounter as you travel through the abstract environment you have escaped to.
Throughout your exploration of this mysterious area you will encounter dangerous creatures which can pursue you at any time. Avoid them at all costs while solving the puzzles and dodging the traps that stand between you and freedom. But from what exactly?
Attempt to solve the story buried within as you uncover hidden rooms, encrypted messages and locked away secrets deep within the adventure.
The answers are all there.
But do you know what questions to ask? And does it actually matter?
