Overcoming Solipsism is a game of paranoia and self-inflicted social exclusion.
~~~
You've always felt it. Out of the corner of your eye, the world dissolves. The people you see, they cease to exist as you move away. The only thing you can be sure of is that YOU exist, and that's not nearly enough. You could be a brain in a jar, sitting in someone's lab. The world could be a simulation. You could be the star of a reality TV show that you are not aware of.
Whenever you think about it, you get the same sensation; the chances that THIS is all real are slim. Most of the world—people's reactions, politics, economics—doesn't make sense at all.
In this game you will try to have a normal, healthy life, despite the overpowering feeling that nothing is real. Will you let your acts be driven by paranoia, or will you focus on making the world a better place?
~~~WARNING~~~
This game includes themes of social exclusion and mistrust that might be disturbing for some players. Discretion is advised.

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.
