Denial

Backwater Creek

Denial is an adventure game about figuring out your identity. It features Daniel, a trans man, as the protagonist. In the game the player gets to explore different memories of Daniel throughout his life. It deals with his own denial of his identity and the denial and rejection from his environment.
Discover a surreal realm created by Daniel’s own imagination. By revisiting those memories and collecting mirror shards the player can get insight into Daniel’s life, piece by piece. The player faces opposition in form of a narrator, who reflects the derision from other people but also Daniel’s of doubt and fears. While sifting through those memories, the player helps Daniel find his true identity, repair his shattered self and break out of his own self-doubt.
