My Shadow is Vietnamese
A downloadable game
A young man leaves Canada to visit his mother and sister in Vietnam. Over the next few days, he contends with himself to re-discover the strength he believes he lost.
Hi! Welcome to my first interactive fiction,
“My Shadow is Vietnamese”.
MSiV served as my thesis project during my final year in the Screenwriting & Narrative Design program in George Brown College, Canada. Much like the situations the young man encounters during his stay, so have I in my own trials of depression and the lack of belief in what good the universe can have in store for me.
My game explores these themes in a familial setting rooted in Vietnamese culture.
Thank you for spending your time in this young man’s company.

Hello, I couldn't believe I've just finished reading.
I love every bits of the story and I RARELY read anything (I prefer motion picture/game). Very relatable family theme, with lots of interesting personal details about your life in Ca Mau.
But it ended quite abruptly (I'm curious about whether you mom won the competition or not? :D).
Anyway, thank you for sharing your experience. I'm currently a student game developer in Sai Gon and hoping to make a narrative-driven game of my own. Can you add me on Twitter so that we can have a little chat sometimes?
Hi! I'm Victor! It's nice to meet you!
Thank you for playing. I'm humbled with the kind praise. I'd like to believe my mom won the competition without a sweat!
I had vivid experiences living in Hue, Ca Mau and visiting Sai Gon when my family and I came to Vietnam but they were all over 12 years ago.
I don't have a twitter account anymore but DM me whenever you like!
On what platform can i DM you? :D
I apologize for getting back so late! New Year's was busy with work and keeping my health up. Reach out to me at victusn7@gmail.com whenever you like!
