Description

A short, queer (and borderline nonsensical) mystery game where you are trying to find out what happened to your missing friend by rooting around in their computer. Play by clicking on things and searching terms in the EyeOS home screen! Note: try to keep search terms concise, and *don't press enter*---it'll search on its own, and hitting enter will disrupt results. Also I figured it would be played in one sitting, so it does not currently have save states (but I can add them if people want).

Submission to the Safe In our World Game Dev Champions game jam, solo over 25 category.

Find out why! This game is concerned with anxiety, dysphoria, and isolation. It discusses these topics lightheartedly but with sincerity, since that reflects my own approach to my own struggles. Thought it might be a good fit for a game jam about mental health and, well, being safe in our world.

Accidentally (but definitively) inspired by En Abime! Check it out, if you dare >:)

PS: I included editable versions in the downloads in case anybody likes the format of the game and would enjoy experimenting with making interactive fiction of their own using it as a template! Just please credit me if you do so :)
