Games Like Parallel Self

Run. With your shadow, and beyond.

A one-button 2D action game where the top and bottom screens move in perfect sync. One button. One jump. Simple to pick up — yet the further you go, the sharper it gets.

A boy learns his mother has been taken by the Demon Lord. He runs to bring her back. And at his feet, a shadow follows him everywhere.

―Who that shadow really is, the boy does not yet know.

The truth changes on your second run.

The story told in the first run and the second run are different. As you race through the same stages again, you'll slowly realize: the answer was there all along, from the very beginning.

Die. Learn. Run again.

This game doesn't go easy on you. Burn the obstacle patterns into your memory through repeated failure, and inch your way forward. When you finally clear it — it feels like more than just beating a game.
