Personasmith is a game about forgery and counterfeiting…

When Ryan’s art school adventure is cut short, he finds himself back in the council-run, tower block that he’d spent years trying to escape. With his dreams of becoming a graphic artist seemingly in tatters, he starts putting his skills to good use in more unorthodox ways…

Personasmith challenges players to help others through the art of forgery and counterfeiting. A changed name here, a fake id there – little things that help Ryan’s friends and neighbours in the tower block to redress the social injustices that are heaped on them.

Just when Ryan seems to have his life back on track, his skills are noticed by a local gang, and our Robin Hood could end up robbing banks. We follow him as tries to navigate the impossible situation he finds himself in.

Thunkd’s second game features an unconventional mix of urban UK settings, exploration and discovery, unique counterfeiting and forgery-based challenges, and a web of stories that examine social injustices.
