the sound of rain.

the sound of rain. is a short visual novel/parser-based interactive fiction about death made for the O2A2 jam. I tried to explore different themes around death this time, so a little beyond the usual losing someone close to you.

There's technically only one ending, but the things you do when exploring the attic affect parts of your ending as well.

The game is open-source. You can read the code on https://github.com/qteatime/the-sound-of-rain

I also wrote a longer piece with my own thoughts on writing this and some of the backstory/worldbuilding thingies not covered here (spoilers ahead): https://robotlolita.me/diary/2022/07/rain/
