Cheshire in a Chatroom

- CONTROLS -  - ABOUT -

"Cheshire in a Chatroom" is a small PICO-8 game made for Jamulator 2021, a game jam where you have to make a simulation-based game. In this case, this submission is a  drawing chatroom simulator, it's meant to mimic the pitcochat rooms on the Nintendo DS but on an older console.

In "Cheshire in a Chatroom", you'll take on the role of a kid entering a similar type of chatroom, you'll send messages, drawings and... meet a new friend? There are 5 different endings to get, with a single playthrough taking up to 10 minutes.

- STORY -

In the dead of night, there's an emptiness that takes hold of me. Alone at home, with nothing better to do, I take out my gaming console...

It's the 1980s and you're a kid who's playing on their ------ console. Your game's corrupted, none of your friends are online, and pico_chat  (a drawing online chatroom) seems to be the only thing you can enter.
