Description

Michael is a cooperative game where you and up to three friends play as brilliant psychiatry students trying to help a patient with Dissociative Personality Disorder. The game is divided into four rounds, called Sessions, where you talk to the patient's 24 different personalities, trying to understand their connections and reunite them with the real Michael. As you progress, the patient's stress increases, and you must decide when to take a break and give him some rest. The game is a mind puzzle, with a strong narrative component and a mathematical system that makes it fully replayable. Each personality has a request and reaction, and listening to them carefully will help you obtain objects to satisfy other requests. With four different decks of answers, the personalities change their behavior over time, some helping you and others trying to make you fail. This creates a unique and challenging experience each time you play, making Michael a thrilling game to solve.
