Pre-Shave

Pre-Shave is a shaving simulator about a brown man dealing with a hairy situation.

The game was created in roughly 1 week as a part of #WineJam in 2019. I wanted to create a game that represented my experience as being an Iranian American dealing with racial anxieties and traveling. The game begins with a comedic premise, but explores deeper messaging as you complete it. I am responsible for everything in the game except for the music. Later I released the game on the Steam platform along with new achievements to make the game have more replayability.

Platform: PC
