About

The hero is sure he's HIM. Nobody else is. So every run is evidence: bosses beaten, dares won at roadside stalls, helpers hired and pets found go into the HIM Ledger, and so does every death, along with whatever did the killing. Die, and one of five judges rules on it. None of them are nice.

The fighting is a combo brawler with quick-time counters and hand-seal jutsu, through four biomes and eleven lookalike bosses. Six rigged-but-beatable mini games wait by the road, along with five helpers who each want one key item. There are 131 relics to wear, most of the story is in their descriptions, and enough evidence takes the case to a hearing with three endings. About 4,900 lines are voiced. The hero's name is bleeped by Legal every time.

Twitch

Streamers link Twitch in SETTINGS and chat plays along. Viewers pick a side with !him believe or !him hate, and haters' names go on the henchmen. Chat votes to help (!him heal) or not (!him fog), and timed twists such as big heads stay off until the streamer switches them on. Sign-in is a code at twitch.tv/activate; the game never sees the password.

AI disclosure

The voices, music and sound effects were made with ElevenLabs tools (Voice Design, text-to-speech, Eleven Music and sound effects) from our own scripts, lyrics and briefs, and each character's voice was picked by ear from designed takes. They ship as recorded files; nothing is generated while you play. Character bodies and animations come from CC0 packs (Quaternius, Mesh2Motion) and the CMU motion capture database. Portraits, key art and screenshots are drawn or rendered by the game itself.
