Download from GameJolt!
itch.io mirror


READ BEFORE DOWNLOAD -- This game's package may freak out some players' virus protection, but don't worry--it is a false positive, the build is clean! I even scanned it myself and some others too to confirm this!

Version 2.0 is now up which is re-released on Ren'Py 6.99 with more fixes and additions

Our game ranked #37 out of 128 games!


SYNOPSIS

"You (Paul) woke up one day to find the world in shambles--everyone but you has disappeared. You have no idea what happened, as there's no one to ask---no people, no animals---but there are creatures that are attracted to the dark, so you must keep the lights on. The sun seem to be smaller, so days and especially nights are freezing, forcing you to use your heater that sucks up a good amount of power. Your last hope---a radio that lasts abut 5-7 minutes after its battery's been charged for 6 hours. You've finally made contact with a girl, Elly, and only have a short amount to chat each day to maintain sanity. However, your makeshift generator is now left with only 30 kilowatt hours of power on its final tank of gas---running your heater 6 hours a day would mean it'd be dry in 5 days, and only two things can be plugged in at a time. You must balance running your heater, your microwave, your lights, and time on your radio and keep the unknown creatures at bay for as long as you can. You may never find out why the world was laid to waste when you woke up, but you don't have to be alone."

Tofu Sheets Visual presents our entry for GameJolt's 72-hour GDC Jam! I have to thank my brother and my two voice actors for how fast they worked; the art was made in like two days, my actors had to record all their lines within a few hours, and I had to write and script and edit all the lines in. While maybe not the best visual novel in the world, it was a fun experiment and I am satisfied with it for being a 72-hour project. And I hope you guys will enjoy it for what it is; feel free to report any errors you find. Also let us know what you think. This was our first time doing a 72-hour jam, it certainly was quite the experience and a bit frustrating, but man was it fun....literally, the download was ready just 20 minutes before jam's end...phew...

The goal of the game is not about finding out why everyone disappeared, and not so much conserving your generator's power, but more so about staying in contact with Elly.

FEATURES:
- Fully voice acted dialogue!
- Original artwork made within 72 hours!
- 7 endings! (5 bad, 1 good, 1 best)
- A button that let's you see how many kilowatt hours you got left!

The game is about 45MB, so it shouldn't take too long to download.

hello!

i downloaded your game, and my antivirus said your game has a trojan:

the trojan is this one:
https://www.avira.com/en/support-threat ... en&track=1

i have played about 20 renpy games, but did not get a trojan warning with any of the others. so it cannot be a problem with renpy.

might it be that your computer is infected with a trojan, and the games you make get infected too?

I'm actually not sure why that happen. My virus protection freaked out too, but then it scanned the .exe and found it to be clean. It could be a conflict with the fact this was originally on 6.15 and I imported it into 6.99. But I assure you, it is clean (I recall a couple of games awhile back made by well known Ren'Py users here who encountered the same problem, such as chronica's "Grinning Heart" and Ookami's search and find game, which had no issues but triggered anti-virus anyway). Though just to be safe, I'll set the itch.io to draft and revert back to the previous build on GameJolt until the issue is resolved. I'll go ask support for assistance as to what the issue could be.

EDIT: And made the thread, I do thank you for bringing this to my attention. I really hope that isn't in there, but I made sure to delete those builds completely from both my GJ and itch.io page.

although this time it references a different trojan definition:

Hmmm, that is extremely odd as version 1.1 has never given me or other people problems (it's been downloaded many times, and that's been up for months since last year--no one's reported any issue with it, it's been working fine).

Version 2 is now up and running again! I issued a warning that some players' anti-virus may freak out, but it is a false positive.

I never commented on this apparently? But I played the previous version of this game and I really enjoyed it. It was probably the first VN with any sort of "gameplay" element that I'd ever played, and one of the few with voice acting that I didn't mute. I remember enjoying this one a lot. c:

Awww, thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it, this was an experimental project but I'm so proud of it and so is my team. I am also glad you seemed to like the voicework, that means a lot to me and I am sure my two CVs will love to hear that. They were so speedy in delivering all that too, we only had 72 hours so I am glad it paid off! Thank you so much for playing <3
