A Room Without You In It

THE SHORT PITCH

A  first-person, sort-of-escape-the-room, point-and-click adventure dealing with grief, trauma and depression, and how they can take us to a place that's very hard to come back from.  

THE LONG PART

This is my very first game, so it doesn't have much in the way of gameplay aside from a couple of simple puzzles. It's mostly narrative-focused, which means that exploring and clicking around the environment is encouraged, as it provides more details of the story (no pixel hunting though, promised!). Because the total play time is only around 15 minutes, there's no save function.

Move the cursor to the top of the screen to access your inventory, click on an item to select it and right-click to deselect it. Press Esc to access the Pause menu in which you can quit or resume the game, as well as adjust the global volume.

All coding, art and music by me, with some invaluable scripting advice from the fine folks over at the AGS forums and the help of Ronen Ness' Pixelator tool for additional processing of backgrounds and sprites.
