The Self Defense

As we age, overcome challenges, and meet new people, our personalities evolve. But not yours.

Harness your Mania, Spite, and Denial to construct Defense Mechanisms. Use them to guard your fragile sense of self against the Hexagons of Change.

Defense Mechanisms expend psychological resources when toggled on. Resources recover when toggled off.

Avoid personal growth at all costs.

Designed for a custom 5-toggle controller during the "flip out" alt ctrl jam.

The controller uses QWERT inputs to indicate toggle states, but holding these keys down isn't very comfortable on a real keyboard. If you didn't make a controller, you can use these keyboard "toggles":

• "A" for red hexagon /  "D" for blue triangle
• "J" for purple plus
• "K" for green star
• "L" for orange square
