Animal Agency
About
the state of brains in humans is bound up in the proximity to animals and the escape from work that comes with sleep.
This is a game about that scene in the film where the main character slips in an out of consciousness and we see time passing in a strobe of events they barely have an agency in.
Its also about how I used to not be able to sleep past 4am in my own bed so I would get up and get dressed for work and sit on the sofa in the kitchen with a very old ginger cat with long claws and I'd get more rest in those 2 hours before I had to leave the house than any other time.
its also a game about how SSRI's replaced my adrenaline response to stress with one of sheer fatigue. My brain closed up like a clam when I tried to read or do anything I find hard and I just zoned out.
feature's some music from my favourite black metal bad Penance Stare https://penancestare.bandcamp.com/
anyway. i hope you enjoy it. I love Adventure Game Studio
