ABOUT

made in under 48 hours for Geta Game Jam 8

'drink' is a short visual novel about crimes, acceptance, and redemption.

A quick experience, this game lacks gameplay, but seemingly provides enough audio and visuals to make up for the deficit.

GGJ8 is a 72 hour game jam, but I was late and allotted myself 48 hours.

for Geta Game Jam 8 [ dreams & nightmares ]

by chiyeon

EXPLANATION [SPOILERS]:

Each 'realm' in the game after the first one is meant to symbolize a stage in the process of acceptance. The first desert stage represents denial (the 'square people' who are obviously rectangles and the King are all in obvious denial), the next red stage anger (where innocents are murdered for no reason), and so on until the last and final stage of acceptance.

The game is the nightmares/dreams experienced by a comatose drunk driver, who 'accidentally' kills an entire family in a car crash, only to fall into a 2 year coma. During the coma, the once normal person is stuck in an inner turmoil, unable to accept what they've done. They finally at the end of the game accept their actions, and prepare to face the consequences.
