A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

A young man stands in his bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 12th of April, 2009, is the day before this young man's birthday. Almost thirteen years ago he was given life, and tomorrow it will change forever. Though the adventures that await him are far greater than anything that will happen today, he doesn't know that just yet. Today will be just another normal day for him and his friends.

What will he do?

THIS IS A DEMO. NOT THE FINAL PRODUCT.

Once the Pesterchum conversation is done, press the Interact button to exit.

Linux version coming soon. Linux version already here!

Please feel free to report any bugs you may find.

Source code here.

KNOWN BUGS:

  • Sometimes pickable objects respawn when they shouldn't. I'm working on it. Fixed.

KNOWN ISSUES:

  • Sometimes expelled objects will become unreachable until you leave and re-enter the current room. They can also push other objects and make them unreachable too. Fixed

CHANGELOG:

Version 0.1.2:

  • Re-added Trickster Mode.
  • Added a transparency effect for certain objects when you get behind them.

Thank you! Progress has been slow but I'm still working on this! I'm currently porting the whole game to Godot 4.

It is very much alive! I am currently porting the whole game to Godot 4, and in the process doing a lot of cleanup and refactoring.
I sometimes post updates to my twitter, here.
