About Dissolution of My Self
Dissolution of My Self is a point‑and‑click psychological horror adventure that unfolds in a single rented room. Players click objects to reveal fragments of Hector’s memories and watch his identity erode. The demo lasts roughly half an hour, varying with reading speed, and offers one ending while allowing the order of discovery to shift the narrative flow.
The story follows exiled prince Hector and his uncle Matvey, whose strained, codependent bond fuels the oppressive atmosphere. No monsters appear; the horror derives from the intimate decay of family ties, exile, and the gradual loss of self as objects blur and become unusable.

Narrative Structure
The game presents a fragmented story told through Hector’s recollections triggered by objects. Players piece together a personal path, but the ending remains constant regardless of the order of discovery. The narrative explores exile, dependence, and identity collapse.
Memory fragments shift based on Hector’s mental state, encouraging players to question his reliability. The text‑driven experience emphasizes psychological horror over action, with no alternate storylines.
- Read each memory carefully; Hector’s perspective may distort facts.
- Experiment with different objects early to see how the story rhythm changes.

Character Dynamics
Hector, an exiled prince, treats his uncle Matvey as subject, caregiver, and spouse, creating a suffocating bond. Matvey, an unlicensed electrician, supports their exile while enduring Hector’s contradictory treatment.
Their relationship fuels the oppressive tone, with dialogue hinting at twisted affection and resentment, shaping the game’s dark intimate narrative.
- Notice how Hector’s lines reveal his shifting view of Matvey.
- Consider the power imbalance when interpreting their exchanges.

Object Investigation
Players interact with everyday items—windows, a television, chairs, medicine bottles—to unlock memories. Each triggered object gradually blurs, reflecting Hector’s self‑dissolution.
The investigation is purely click‑based; objects do not change function beyond narrative fading, reinforcing the psychological horror.
- Start with visible objects to establish a baseline of memories.
- Observe how objects visually degrade after multiple interactions.

Horror Atmosphere
The game delivers horror through a sealed, oppressive space and the decay of familial affection, not through monsters or jumpscares. Expect unease and ethical tension.
Dark humor and taboo intimacy add layers to the unsettling mood, making the experience unsettling rather than startling.
- Brace for a constant sense of oppression rather than sudden scares.
- Pay attention to the tone of dialogue for subtle horror cues.
