| Abstract | My Friend and Me is a game about growing up, finding yourself and developing a relationship. It’s a puzzle adventure game where each room or level presents a challenge that must be solved in order to move forward to the next room. It starts with one of the characters—a small boy—who is in a room where the player sees a creature in a cage. The goal of the game is for both characters to form a bond as the game progresses. In the beginning, the relationship is based on the boy's need for help. Since he is very small, it is difficult for him to complete each puzzle without help. The catch is that they both need each other. Each of them has abilities that the other one lacks. |
