Game synopsis: 

Invite a friend to play as you impersonate a shrink and his patient for a rather unorthodox exchange: while the shrink attempts to find out about his patient's hidden secrets, the patient will do whatever they can to keep him from doing so using strategy... are you ready to outsmart the shrink?


Game instructions:

Once connected to another player, your character will be randomly assigned to you: you'll either be the shrink, or one of his patients. If you are a patient, you will be provided with a short bio of your character, and then you will have 5 elements that will act as clues that you give to the shrink about yourself. You can choose the order in which you submit those clues, and the trick is to think strategically so as not to arouse suspicions: all these correspond to hidden secrets that you don't want the shrink to find out about! Once a clue has been sent to the shrink, he will be presented with 3 options: only one corresponds to his patient's secret! After all 5 clues have been presented to him and he has made a guess for each, he will be shown 3 different patient bio: once again, only one corresponds to his patient. He wins by picking the right one, otherwise the patient wins! You can play over and over to get better and impersonate all the characters!


Game status:

This is a playable version of the game, although it will be continued and finished after the jam. At the moment the player can impersonate 3 characters: the shrink, patient n°1 and patient n°2, but more patients will be added in the future!
