All the Delicate Duplicates
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
An award-winning work of surreal, reality-bending digital fiction spread across a time-period of 19 years.
John, a computer engineer and single father, inherits a collection of arcane objects from Mo, his mysterious relative. Over time, John and his daughter Charlotte begin to realise that these objects have unusual physical properties – and that the more they are exposed to them, the more their reality and memories appear to change.

Quotes
"A compelling example of a literary game... Precisely what emerging authors/artists in this space should be seeking to duplicate."
- James O'Sullivan, Los Angeles Review of Books
“This is incredibly effective storytelling that will stick with you. All the Delicate Duplicates is a must-play....It's a standout game.”
Rated "A" – DefunctGames
“I rarely ever play a game twice, especially campaigns or story-driven games. Once they’re done, they’re done in my eyes. However All the Delicate Duplicates wants to smash that...And while your first time might be quick, second time around you’ll likely take your time and soak in what the game has to offer. All the Delicate Duplicates has certainly left a mark. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with a game that I could see kick start a new form of storytelling.”
9.3 out of 10 – N3rdabl3
“The more short games that I play, the more I’m really coming to appreciate little interactive fictions and experiences that can be completed in one sitting. Luminaries of such form might include Journey and Limbo and Firewatch, and it’s safe to count All the Delicate Duplicates amongst such company...All The Delicate Duplicates is refreshing simply because it works the brain in ways that few other games even bother to try. It’s certainly a game that sticks with you.”

This game is really interesting. I was a little confused over the story line, but honestly, it was really fun and interesting to play. The graphics were great and as the story unfolded I found myself eager to discover more about what happened. Also, I never thought I would be scared of a Giant Chess piece but, here we are. Feel free to check out my video of it below:
Thank you for playing and taking the time to make this video!
