New game! It's an itty bitty sub-1000 word linear text game. It's also a horror game — I've been making lots of cute nice stuff lately, so making something that's a big ol' bummer felt refreshing.
I used the Videotome engine, the first in a series of homebrew text game engines by Freya. I love Freya's games to bits, so when she hosted a game jam based around using using her nifty tools, I jumped at the opportunity. I had a lot of fun!
The actual story was a piece of flash fiction I wrote for a Writer's Club meetup a few months ago. I got an aesthetic I liked together in Videotome, gave the story an edit pass, and it all came together pretty quickly. There are several pieces of flash fiction I've written in the last year I've gone "I should make a little game out of this" for, but this is the first time I actually did it. Maybe I'll do it more in the future!
