Hi everyone!

I'm a solo indie developer, and I'm excited to announce my first Steam release: **Parallel Self**.

It's a challenging one-button 2D action game where you control a boy and his shadow simultaneously. The top and bottom screens move in perfect sync, so every jump affects both worlds.

The game is simple to learn:

* One button
* One jump
* No complicated controls

But the challenge comes from mastering timing, learning from every death, and pushing forward.

Behind the difficult gameplay is a darker story about a mother and her son. The full truth is only revealed when you play through the game a second time.

Features:

* One-button precision action
* Unique synchronized top/bottom screen gameplay
* Hidden story revealed on the second playthrough
* Dark emotional narrative
* Baroque-style soundtrack inspired by Vivaldi's "Winter"

Release date: August 17, 2026  
Price: $2.50 USD
