About
You move forward, carrying everything you’ve become.
In What We Carry, the world ahead is hidden from view. You walk a single path through darkness with only a mirror to guide you—reflecting yourself and what lies behind you, but never what waits ahead.
Survival is not about reflexes.
It’s about decisions.
As you travel, random event cards interrupt your journey, each presenting a choice with no clear answer. Help or ignore. Risk or retreat. Preserve yourself—or sacrifice something you may need later. Every decision plays out immediately, reshaping your run through stat changes, new conditions, lingering burdens, or sudden death.
Some choices make you stronger.
Others simply make you heavier.
Overview
A World You Can’t See
Exploration through limitation. The mirror reveals only fragments of truth, forcing you to interpret danger through reflection and consequence.
Event-Driven Strategy Gameplay
Randomized event cards challenge your judgment, resource management, and willingness to take risks.
Meaningful Choices With Permanent Consequences
There are no correct answers—only outcomes you must live with, or die from.
Dark Gothic Pixel Art
A grim, atmospheric visual style inspired by classic RPGs and bleak fantasy worlds.
High Replayability
Each run offers new events, outcomes, and endings shaped by what you choose.
There is no map.
No warning.
No relief from consequence.
Only the mirror.
Only the path.
Only what you carry.
