Dear Diary (itch) (Dennis Chen)
About
Dear Diary is a 2D-topdown puzzle-solving RPG that tells the story of a college student named Ky. Ky wakes up to find that a mysterious author has been writing in his old diary, giving ominous messages about things the author has taken from him and what he must do to get those items back. To pursue the author, Ky must enter different puzzles set in the world of his past, as written in his diary, and either with or without the help of his friends create paths through these puzzles. How the player chooses to reach out, as Ky, to his friends affects how he remembers his past throughout the four days of the game.
