How does your game fit the theme?
Each section of the game is a chat which starts with a chat request. These chat requests use a door as their icon, like older instant messaging apps, such as AIM. "What's behind the door" is the next conversation.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All of the code and art was done by Shadow64. The music was all entirely written by Elise in the Clouds. The writing was a shared work. The SFX were selected, licensed, & purchased from Splice. The door icon is edited from Google icons. The fonts are free for commercial use from various sources.
We began discussions and work on February 3rd, 2024 and altered the project when the jam theme was announced. The game was largely created and completed after the announcement.

Amazing work! I love the storytelling and the music! The music really sets the tone for the game.
I'm glad you thought the storytelling was good! I was able to check out your game!
Nice work! I was definitely scrambling around trying to avoid those blue baddies. Looks like you made it to qualify too!
Congrats and thanks again for playing/rating!
This was great, you did an amazing job writing some really unlikable characters. The music and sound effects really set the scene too. Great job!
Hahaha thank you so much! I'm glad you had a good experience with it even though it wasn't the nicest of crowds to encounter. I really enjoyed your game! The pets were so cute!
Thanks for playing!
Great & very polished story game! Loved the aesthetic and the music was perfect to add to the emotional atmosphere.
Thank you for the generous feedback! I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed it and that it felt polished. That's awesome. And yes, Elise's music is phenomenal. I'm still working through the games of people who rated us, but I'll try to get to yours later today.
Thank you again for the review and for playing and congrats on finishing the jam!
really great game! i liked the music a lot it really set the tone for the game :)
Thank you so much! Elise in the Clouds is a fantastic composer and created a brilliant score for this in a SUPER short time frame. Glad you enjoyed it. Looking forward to playing your entry! Thanks again for playing/rating!
I'm not sure why I had a lot of fun with this, but I did! It felt good to argue with someone over text who wasn't real! haha! The audio is also wonderful! Good work!
Hahaha! That's an awesome reaction! I'm very glad you enjoyed that aspect. It can be a very divisive thing to face off against people (real or fictional) in that kind of sparring match, so I'm glad you fell on the "YES!" side of things. Thank you for playing and I look forward to playing your entry!
Very few games can draw you in emotionally this fast! The music helps, but it's the writing, the way those limited dialogue options make you empathize with your character so completely. Fantastic work.
Thank you so much for the generous compliments, Dryden. I'm glad to hear that the emotions were able to reach you and dig in. Haha. And it's very kind of you to point out the writing and the choices as being a big part of that. Thank you for playing!
