About

Summer 1989 in Silver Lake, and your last few weeks before graduation come with the usual plans: get a job, buy a car, find a girlfriend. Then people start disappearing, the shadows stop behaving, and a missing friend turns a quiet coming-of-age story into something else.

The game plays out as a story-driven visual novel built on choice and memory. What you do with friends and romantic interests carries forward, and the town remembers how you treated people even as the horror underneath it starts pushing through. It leans hard on its influences, retro adventure games, 80s slasher flicks, and teen sex comedies of the same era, and doesn't pretend to be anything else.

This rebuild moves the whole thing onto Ren'Py, with the current update mostly spent scrubbing old bugs and cleaning up dialogue that apparently needed it.

Changelog

v0.8.1b hotfix

If you have a menu bug that causes a crash, please replace the "screens.rpy" file in your game folder with the one found in the hotfix. You do not need this file if you do not have this bug.

Dialogue fixes to make the story more better.
URM compatibility restored.
Some minor graphics fixes.
Restored an animation with Felicity that had been cut for time.
Video sound no longer comes through on the music channel and is set to the SFX channel.
Slightly reduced the default size of the font and fixed many word wrap issues.

v0.7.2

Fixed a number of dialogue typos.
Retouched select image frames to improve visual consistency.
Resolved bugs affecting UI elements like the map area and menus.
Updated dialogue fonts for better readability: main dialogue and inner monologue now have distinct, clearer styles.
Rebuilt the Jodie diner bathroom scene (Day 3) as a test of a new format. The scene is now fully narrative driven, removing the previous multiple choice menu. This may become the standard for other intimate scenes in the game.
Added opacity slider for the text box UI (thanks to Moonbox).
New dialogue font options: choose between comic or pixel styles under settings.
Added a new Chrissy school investigation scene (Day 3).
