Just one more fight
And I’ll be history
Yes I will straight up
Leave your shit
And you’ll be the one who’s left
Missing me
-My Way, Limp Bizkit
___
You are a pro wrestler. One of the best there have ever been. You had a long lineage of wins and losses. Heartaches and achievements. All in all, you have a had a career worth looking back on.
But you have never reached the top of the mountain. You have never held the title that defined your promotions. And you want it so bad.
Still, it’s like they say. “The spirit’s willing. The body cannot.” You have been wrestling for so long and your body is telling you too long. Telling you it’s time to string up your boots and finally call it a day.
But not until you have won that title.
____
My Way is a game about obsession, burnout and the idea of work defining you. It’s about pushing yourself far beyond what you know you should be doing. It’s about the pain of reaching for the top.
My Way is heavily inspired by pro wrestling of all sorts. But most of all, it’s inspired by Independent Wrestling. It’s where I have seen the most sheer passion and love for wrestling anywhere. Even too much.
This game was created as part of the Wretched & Alone Jam, a game jam organised to coincide with the release of the SRD for the Wretched & Alone system, based on Chris Bissette’s game The Wretched.
