I have finally finished up everything needed to release the game on steam. All that is left is the remaining time to develop and release Jones on both itch.io and steam for FREE. I have expanded and will add basic features like saving and cloud saving so players won't lose progress.
I'm expanding the game to be about at least an hour, with a new linear story set in the perspective of a highschool aged girl. Players must navigate through real environments of the characters daily life while also going through the void for personal segments. The player has choices that will alter the direction of the story, and will leave consequences. It's a personalized story that hopefully can relate or inform the player.
I'm happy to announce that Jones will be releasing August 1st, for free on itch.io and steam. The soundtrack is also released on Spotify if you guys care to give it a listen!
The prototype and playtesting will only be available on Steam however just for easier management of Quality control, but nonetheless, when it's ready. It'll be released here.
Thank you so much for following the development process, I will hopefully see you in 5 weeks.

Thank you!

Jones is a first person exploration game set in an endless void.
Players navigate through "pills" in order to explore the environment, while being coerced by an unknown voice that talks about your every little move.
You play as a teen, after leaving the bathroom you interact with the environment and make decisions that could impact your direction as the story progresses. Switching back and fourth from the void and certain parts of your world, you aren't sure what is real and you aren't sure what is the right move.
This experience lasts only 45-60 minutes.
