A man sits alone in a shack, deep in thought. Back and forth through the years his mind wanders. Forever a craftsman, he starts carving a mask. And as he looks at it, he remembers… Unmasked: An Inner Journey is an emotion-driven adventure platformer that takes you on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery. You play as a manifestation of a mind fighting inner fears and painful memories. As you delve into the Craftsman’s consciousness, you will help him accept his past, ultimately finding closure. The story of Unmasked: An Inner Journey is told without dialogue. Instead, the narrative unfolds through a series of carefully crafted vignettes that hint at events from the Craftsman’s past.
