i dont recognize this part of town
i dont recognize this part of town is a short, surreal, CYOA style game about finding your way home before it gets dark out. Features light horror elements (nothing too scary, there's some writing that could be a little unsettling). There are two endings, depending on your choices. This game uses AI generated art
Inspired by liminal spaces, childhood memories, and the writing of Haruki Murakami.
Made in Unity in 3 days for Mini Jam 126: Lost, with the limitation time is a resource.
There is a game-breaking black screen bug that can occur. The only solution is to restart the game or refresh your page. I unfortunately lost the project files before I could fix this (made this one before I learned about version control), so it will likely remain unfixed. My apologies.

This is my first game jam, and my second game overall.

This is a neat short game! I really liked the dreamy and oppresive atmosphere. I would love to see you take a crack at a longer VN with this kind of feel. The thing I found the most intiriguing were the reocurring themes, such as the faces in the fog/clouds or the childhood memories. It would be quite interesting to see these themes developed in a more cohesive body of work.
Overall, I think this is excellent for a gamejam project! I look forward to your future games.
Man, this is such nice feedback. Thank you. I've never made anything like this before, so it's really cool to hear that someone enjoyed it so much.
When I started making this, I figured it would be a one-off learning exercise, but I ended up really enjoying the process. I don't want to make any promises, but you just might see an expanded version or a sequel in the next few months.
Once again, thank you!
