Hyacinth is a psychological horror game that centers on Neo(they/them) after they find themselves alone on a strange train. Follow them as they navigate through surreal train car after surreal train car... and try to find their way home.

Can you hear her voice?

About:

Hyacinth was made in three days by a team of two for Mini Jam 103: Darkness.

For the theme, we were deeply inspired by inner darkness, especially in terms of mental health. Luckily, the limitation, "you are your own enemy," worked out quite well with that in mind! We hope that you enjoy the finished product, especially if you resonate with Neo's story. Remember, things will get better <3

Also of note: we had some troubles getting the program icon to work, so we apologize if it appears as the default :(  If you happen to come across any other bugs, please let us know in the comments!
