Now, however, it’s twenty years later, and he and his friends are past the age of make-believe and pretend. The wonderland of their youth has become nothing more than a far-off dream, until one night, Bucks and her newborn daughter disappear without a trace. Soon, Iggy and his friends find themselves being pulled back into that world of childish glee—only their wishes and desires aren’t so innocent anymore, and the world has twisted itself into a land of corruption, evil, and lust that’s scarcely recognizable.

FAQHow many endings are there?
There are technically five endings—one for each arc. But the structure is a bit different from other multi-ending games in that the first four arcs lead up to the final arc, which acts as the One True Ending™. You'll need to play through all the arcs to complete the game and story, but you'll be able to choose the order you play them in (except for the first and last arcs).
Do my choices affect the romantic elements in the game?
Not really. This isn't a dating-style game where you can choose which character to get close to—it's more of a preset narrative that explores various possibilities. However, without revealing too much, your choices do affect details in the epilogue, some of which are romantically-inclined.
Is the game LGBTQIA+-friendly?
Yes, one arc in particular includes a homoromantic relationship, and both biromanticism and asexuality come up more generally.
How much gore is there?
There’s a fair amount, though my art style isn’t particularly realistic, so I can’t say for sure who will and won’t be able to handle it. I’ve included a couple of linked/hidden screenshots in the screenshot section that are indicative of the types of gore you’ll see, and you can check them if you’re unsure. If there are any specific types of gore you’re averse to, you can also reach out and ask me specifically if it’s included.
Are there jump scares in the game?
No, I’m not a fan of jump scares in general, and this isn’t really a jump scare type of game anyway.
What program did you use for the art?
I drew all of the character art and CGs in Aseprite. BGs were done in Gimp.
When will the game be finished/released?
I don’t have an answer to this. I’m a one-person show, so everything is dependent on my progress. This is a game I’ve been thinking about and wanting to make for literal years, and a lot of the stuff explored hits me pretty close to home on a personal level. For the first time, I’ve actually gotten considerable work done and made tons of progress and am really on a roll, so I’m feeling good (otherwise, I wouldn’t be making this post to begin with). I will try to keep updating the progress numbers so people know its current general status.
Current Progress:
- Arc 1: Writing 100%, Coding 100%, Art 100%
- Arc 2: Writing 100%, Coding 100%, Art 100%
- Arc 3: Writing 100%, Coding 100%, Art 100%
- Arc 4: Writing 100%, Coding 100%, Art 100%
- Arc 5: Writing 0%, Coding 0%, Art 0%
- GUI, Menus, Title: 80%
