For my fourth game, I decided to take things simple while also experimenting with something in 2D finally. Mx. Darby, it's been a hell of a day at work and you're ready to clock out finally. How're you gonna spend the rest of the night now?

This game is playable in your browser, however I have also included a free offline copy for you to download as well. Just scroll down and you'll see it listed below.

Features sprites and map-work done by me within the browser-based Bipsi engine. Explore 73 rooms (each 16 x 16 tiles) based around a chunk of the city Opal's Shine in the country of Loopswill Island. Chat with folks, see what's in that business, and find one-of-four ways to call the night when you're all done.

Controls are simply either use WASD or the arrow keys to move around, interact with objects and NPCs, and progress dialogue. After you reach an ending, you can use these keys to loop back to the beginning and start a new playthrough.

Character featured for this game's cover art is Darby Murray, the protagonist and a nonbinary bush dog. Their design is inspired by Harry DuBois from the game Disco Elysium.

A cute little microcosm of the world; wonder what the wizards are investigating... lovely use of four colors.

The size of this world is amazing, it's huge! I'm impressed! It was fun wandering around!
