About

I NEED A NAME is a parody homage to the classic RPG Maker horror games of the 2000's and early 2010's. At the very start you are prompted to enter your name and whatever you type will make an impact on the random events you encounter as you travel through the abstract environment you have escaped to.
Throughout your exploration of this mysterious area you will encounter dangerous creatures which can pursue you at any time. Avoid them at all costs while solving the puzzles and dodging the traps that stand between you and freedom. But from what exactly?
Attempt to solve the story buried within as you uncover hidden rooms, encrypted messages and locked away secrets deep within the adventure.
The answers are all there.
But do you know what questions to ask? And does it actually matter?

I shat my pants
I need a name most definitely has a spot in my heart. An homage to the classic greats of RPG Maker horror such as Misao, Ib, Ao Oni, Mad Father, Grandma's Cottage, ect with some extra sprinklings of Analog Horror style. You explore a world of abstract graphics solving puzzles and unraveling mysteries. There are cryptic clues to find and piece together to unravel more of the story. The beginning of the game allows you to input a name which actively affects the randomizer and what events can happen. A love letter to a nostalgic time of horror games, certainly give this one a try!

I need a name does not need a name, as it is a no name game without a name.
Genuine work of art. I was very confused at some point, but once you get into the flow of it the puzzles are surprisingly clear, but maybe not obvious, WHICH IS AWESOME! I love the story a lot.
Awesome puzzle game!!!
Perhaps I need the context and nostalgia of "RPG Maker horror games out of the 2000's" to appreciate it, because without that this is just a bunch of extremely tedious backtracky nonsense in poorly drawn land. Not abstract. Poorly drawn. First time playthrough: 1 hour 24 minutes 2/10
cool little game! the puzzles were fun, and i had a good time looking for all the secrets. i do wish that the walking speed was slightly faster though.
Good game recomending
