Released Sep 2015

You wake up with an aching head and the world out of focus. In front of you is a man accusing you of being “fake”.

Evaluation

Who Is Mike launched on September 29, 2015 as a compact visual novel with 9 endings, approximately 2 hours of gameplay, and 22 CGs. The day after launch, on September 30, 2015, the developer posted about future plans — specifically that voice acting was still being finalized and that translated versions were in progress. Those commitments were followed through: Spanish and German subtitle support shipped on January 20, 2016, which represents the last documented content addition to the game. The developer's other announced plans at the time (voice acting, additional translations, and a separate game called Cupid) were either completed with that January 2016 update or pertained to a different product entirely. No further updates have been posted since January 20, 2016, and the store description presents the game as a complete, self-contained experience with a fixed feature set. The game has been in this final state for over a decade with no announced future content.

About this game

You wake up with an aching head and the world out of focus. In front of you is a man accusing you of being “fake”. He looks exactly like you, down to the last scar and pimple, has the same memories, the same voice and the same personality.

But who is lying and who is telling the truth? Who is fake and who is real?

With over nine different possibilities, you can either end up as the tragic hero, the sly villain, or an innocent victim. Will you keep your cool or pick a fight? Play through all the endings and take a peek at the truth of your demise.

Whatever action you take, ultimately, you must answer the question: “Who is Mike?”
