Iris to Id -Ghosts in the Machine-

Good Morning to a wonderful day.
Good Evening to the night of possibilities.
Good Night to our memories of yesteryear.

Good morning, good evening and good night.
I pray for the days this peace will last.

Good Morning, Good Evening and Good Night.
May we become everlasting friends.

This project got rolling a bit late into the Jam. We were still getting our ideas together on the start of the second week, and officially started in the middle of the second. With our busy every days, different game projects, and even a first day of college looming on the horizon, we threw our gloves into the ring.

This is the first game that we, as friends, made together. Under the guidance of our most experienced, this small team of a veteran and sort-of-newbies in game dev dove literally headfirst into this whole thing. After a mad dash to the finish line, here we are. 

We wouldn't have been able to get anywhere without Archeia being here with us and taking our stupid questions without sending us to the shadow realm every time. They expanded our brains with lots of knowledge about various things, and we are more than grateful that they took us under their wing for these few weeks.

We are planning to update the game with more content in the near future, polishing it up until we are satisfied. Even now, we have written chapters waiting for us in our drafts for this game...There are many more things we want to show everyone--perhaps some new projects too-- but for now, we really need to take some big eeps.

We sincerely hope you will enjoy our game, our characters, and their stories. 

• Skipping scenes may cause the message box to disappear for some time.
• There may be visual glitches, but they should not disrupt game play.
• Video effects may or may not play :(
• Currently there is a bug where at some point, the game softlocks due to the wait time bug. To bypass it, please try the following:
  
  • Load a previous save and press skip. Sometimes skip takes a while (5 seconds) since it doesn't fully skip wait times.
