You were told that education would lead to a career

You were told that hard work would lead to success

You were told that reaching the top would make you free

But what if the path was designed to keep you moving rather than let you escape?

SELFMADE is a short atmospheric 2D platformer about social expectations, failure, work, and the illusion of success.

Climb through the stages of a life built by promises, face the phrases that shaped your choices

and search for an exit from a system that may never have had one.

Every failure reveals another part of the truth . How far are you willing to climb?
