** This game was made for the O2A2 VN Jam 2023, a micro Visual Novel Jam with strict asset limitations and a 1000-word limit **

*Note: If the game doesn't seem to load in web browser, you can download it instead! *

this felt quite silly to make haha it's not at all spooky, just a really short little ~mystery~ and a lot of pining 🤭 i had fun playing around with nvl mode and the look of the game, and I'm just glad i could try O2A2 again!

if you want, you can check out my first O2A2 entry, 'Her Majesty's Mirror' (i swear seemingly unrequited sapphic longings are not always my thing, it just happens...😳)

thanks for checking this out~!

I love the art and the atmosphere in this! The story and characters are intriging too, and I would love to see more of these characters if you happen to make a sequel to this :D

ahhh thank you so much! i'm touched that you find the story and characters interesting since they were kinda self-indulgent eheh😳 i definitely had a larger narrative in mind, but thought to explore just a piece of it for the sake of the jam's brevity and see how it turns out haha 

i would be keen to consider expanding this in the future (however long and distant) so thanks again for playing, it rlly means a lot! :)

 (p.s: i love your game, 'Making a Monster' too!!) ðŸ’•
