Driving to my folks' place for the holidays on 12-13-2024

CW: Jump scare, mentions suicidal ideation

Driving to my folks' place for the holidays on 12-13-2024 is a very, very short "game" designed for a horror mini-event to make something uh, pretty small. It sort of got wrapped up in my recent desire to make more "diary games" and looking into engines like bitsy and design ideas like flatgames. This is not a bitsy game or a flatgame really, but I've never done a "structured wandering with text vibes-based game" sort of deal.

Was nice to play around with color again, it's been a bit. Since my last posting I have some unpublished projects that are all monochrome, so this was nice to get into since that last time I worked with color was Dedicated Healer a few months ago.

The holidays are weird this year.

Game works on browsers but has no touch input for mobile. Sound has been tested to work on Chrome, still troubleshooting on how to get it work on other browsers that report issues. Got fullscreen to work properly now, at least, it stretches instead of just staying the same size.

Credits are available after the game, or from navigating to the title screen early.

Controls:
