The Tale We Tell Our Selves

“Who do I really want to be? Everybody else wants to decide for me.” Sitting alone in his apartment, the young man can’t let this go. To distract himself, he grabs the VR headset to play the game he picked up from the odd little store he’d only first noticed on his way home. So launches a voyage of many ships, lasting a moment or maybe a million million days. And who are the other two players he meets? Behind the masks of their avatar, who are they really?

Peter Pan, Odysseus, Cheshire Cat, Icarus and others help weave a modern myth about how Myth itself can advise the facets of our lives. What can the gameplayers do to break the cycle? Maybe it has nothing to do with Do? Vividly illustrated with 21 full-page watercolors, The Tale We Tell Our Selves is the story, the dream, the prediction… of how we choose the self we choose to be.
