CAST
J.K
A sad, sad man who works in real estate. His tenant is probably going to send him to an early grave. Notably stressed, depressed and in a dire need of a rest.
AISEGEN AINE
J.K's neighbour and a pest controller. Aisegen is out of town a lot, though he always pays his friends a visit in his ventures. He is pragmatic yet easily amused at J.K’s woes.
MAIKE KAUBE
J.K's friend from high school. The only employee at Bunny's he is willing to speak to. Despite her long hours and abysmal pay, she still carries herself cheerfully.
DR. HARCIEL HARCULYTE
J.K's psychiatrist. J.K knows next to nothing about them other than the fact that they love to chat and therefore dominate conversations.
THE PIG
J.K's boss. The Pig cannot be understood by ordinary humans, but J.K can understand it just fine. Despite the language barrier, it is very competent at its job.
Q&A
Will there be romance in this game?
Other than a subplot involving a secret romance, nope! All the main cast members are aromantic and/or asexual and I’m generally not interested in writing romance stories. Sorry, gamers!
I HATE stat-raisers! Will I still be able to enjoy J.K’S EVERYDAY?
Yes! JKSED’s stat-raising mechanics are unique in that the stat totals stack in multiple playthroughs through the use of persistent variables, like in a New Game+ type of way.
The stat-raising mechanics are used to determine which ending you’ll get in a particular playthrough but are otherwise superficial. There are also multiple ways to cheat it (but maybe not the ones you’re thinking...)
I also hate stat-raisers, by the way. So it also has that going for it.
Horror comedy? Horror and comedy? Black comedy?
All the above. In terms of horror, JKSED leans more psychological/denpa than towards anything particularly gruesome, but there’s also a lot of levity that comes with the comedic elements. There will be no real jumpscares.
How much of the final game will be randomised?
No two playthroughs will ever be the same! It’ll likely be impossible to 100% in terms of reading all the text. When I say RNG HELL, I really mean it...
Will there be accessibility options?
Yep! They’re still undergoing testing, hence they’re not in the demo currently, but I do plan on adding customisable font, text size and text spacing options. If everything goes well, you may even be able to add your own custom fonts to the game!

QUESTIONS
If you played the demo, I’d really appreciate it if you answered the following questions!
- What aspects of the demo stood out to you most (music, art, writing quality, aesthetics, etc.)?
- How did you feel about the second-person narration? Do you think JKSED would better benefit from a third-person perspective?
- Did any particular character(s) catch your interest? If so; who and why?
Thanks for reading! 🤍
