The Life I Lost

Made from scratch in one month for NaNoRenO 2022.
It is advised to download the game instead of playing it in your browser for optimal gameplay experience. If, for any reason, you can't download the game (playing on phone, storage issues...), I hope you can enjoy the browser version!

PLOT

Jasper Robinson-Campbell, a 26-year-old man receives great news from his wife, Megan: she is pregnant with their first child. This, for our poor Jasper, sounds like a nightmare: he enjoys his carefree lifestyle and doesn't feel ready to endorse such responsibility.
A story about acceptance, maturity and accepting loss.

Note: This game is a kinetic novel, a specific kind of visual novels in which there is no choice to make. Just watch the story unfold!

FEATURES

• Beautiful sprite artwork for Megan, made by vellaude (twitter, instagram, website)
• A 50-minute-long bittersweet story about pregnancy, its ups and its downs

WARNINGS

This game shouldn't be played by anyone under the age of 12 (for some jokes and for some cursing) and deals with triggering topics. A more detailed account of these warnings can be found here. It is spoiler territory, but if you have deep insecurities about pregnancy, feel free to take a look: better be safe than sorry .

If you appreciate the game and want to let me know, feel free to  leave a review: it always means a lot to small indie devs! ♥
