Claymation is something I love to see more of and we're getting a fun looking treat here with the upcoming puzzle-platformer UvsU: You vs You.

What's going on here then? It's all a bit wibbly wobbly, timey wimey. You play against recordings of your past self in time-loop mind-melting puzzles. Each puzzle consists of multiple loops, where you will switch roles between angel and devil, which have alternating, seemingly conflicting goals. The angel must reach the end and the devil must kill the angel. The twist is that every loop is recorded, and the other characters are all performing your own past actions. The puzzle is only solved when all the characters have met the goal of their loop.

Beyond the puzzle chambers, UvsU: You vs You emphasizes non-linear exploration, environmental discovery, and knowledge-based progression. Inspired by classics like Braid, The Neverhood, Animal Well, and Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, the game blends tactile aesthetics with mind-bending logic. The narrative is entirely textless, delivered through handmade stop-motion style cut-scenes.

There's a demo available - so you can try it out early that should work fine with Proton 11.
