It Is Either You Or You
In It Has My Face, your job is to kill yourself—or rather, a version of yourself. Set in a strange dystopian future where clones walk among crowds, your task is clear: find your doppelganger and eliminate them before they do the same to you. Where do the clones come from? Why are they trying to kill you? What if you’re the clone? These questions linger as you dive into this paranoid nightmare.
The premise is simple enough. You have a mirror available to check out your key physical features for that round. Once you know your target, you need to find a weapon so you can kill the handsome devil that is your clone. The weapons are contained within random suitcases spread across the map, offering a gun, knife, or bat and much more.
Tensions Build As You Chase Yourself
Everything seems straightforward initially, but as maps expand and crowds grow larger, tension builds. People start looking suspiciously similar, and paranoia sets in. You don’t want to shoot an innocent bystander, but you also can’t afford to be caught off guard—because when the killing happens, it’s quick.
In fact, the more clones you eliminate, the more difficult levels become. A psychological challenge sets in as your delusion grows, and everyone starts looking like they’re carrying a knife. Sometimes when you check your reflection again, details like hair color seem to have changed, adding to the panic.
As you progress with each kill, I appreciate how the tension keeps building, making each new kill more frustrating. The clones themselves become craftier, trying to trick you by hiding away or setting traps. The 3D pixel art style makes the auto-generating character system work seamlessly at the beginning of each run, allowing simple changes to hair color, skin tone, or various clothing options.
Development
Currently, the game can only be played solo against an AI opponent. However, the developers have confirmed that multiplayer functionality is planned, which should add an entirely new layer of psychological warfare to the experience.
Release Information
You can find the demo here. I highly recommend giving it a play and adding it to your wishlist if you enjoy the experience. The full game is set to be released in Early Access sometime in 2025.
