Mental Physics

(NOTE: The web version may be buggy. You may opt to download the windows version to play instead.)

• Was the theme for the RPG Maker 2025 Game Jam. We've applied this theme in three different aspects of Mental Physics:

• The game follows the story of the protagonist who has been stuck in his own cognitive world born from his suppressed emotions. Part of these suppressed emotions is the guilt of having to maintain a fake persona of  himself, in order to put up with the expectations of the people around him. As he navigates his mental landscape, he has to confront distorted reflections of his internal struggle, ultimately prevailing in the end and escaping captivity from his mental prison, which he otherwise thought was impossible in the beginning of his journey.

• Beyond expectations is also applied in terms of the game's technicalities. The game was made in RPG Maker MZ, a game engine meant to be used to create top down, non-physics type of games. Mental Physics, however, goes beyond the norm and integrates a physics engine to create a platformer type of game. The game features force based movements, dynamic collision & terrains, as well as projectiles motions. Something you can't do out of the box with the base engine.

• The following plugins has made this game possible:

1. Physics Engine Platformer Plugin for MZ / MV
2. Animated Message Window for MZ

• The game features several gotcha moments: invisible traps, collapsing platforms, etc. 
• Sections of the map are hidden until you are actually in that certain section.

• This is a work of fiction and is in no way a representation of anyone's life, nor personal views regarding certain sensitive matters.
