The River

You wake up in the void, with no memory other than the deep sense that something horrible has happened to you in life that has left you in limbo. Can you find your way back to the living to make things right?

Should you?

Welcome to the page for my first game, The River. I actually made something!

This is my very first attempt at making a game, as well as my first second earnest attempt at a cohesive, stand-alone narrative.

I set off to create all of the game's visual assets, sound effects, and music myself, and scripting/tying it all together with Adventure Game Studio.

Estimated gameplay time: 30-50 minutes.

Playing with good Audio / Headphones is highly recommended.

Content Warning: Contains mature subject matter (discussion of death and dying, written descriptions of violence)

Game Features:

• Unique, (mostly) monochrome style visuals

• Digital hand-drawn backgrounds

• Unique soundtrack and dynamic music score for each of the game's 12 scenes

• Nearly 2000 frames of sprite animation

• Visual Novel styled story, including dialog and character portraits
