EarthBound: "For, Me"

Summary

"10 years ago, Giygas, the universal cosmic destroyer, began his new onslaught on the planet. It was up to you and three other children, the kids prophesised for greatness, to stop his plans before he took total control, and the planet was engulfed in darkness. 

You lost. Giygas won, and now you're all alone.

You are Ness, the failed leader of the Chosen Four, at your breaking point after surviving in this hellscape for 10 long years. It's not often you feel the urge to do something, but today, you're at your limit and need to release your emotions you haven't expressed in so long.

Anger? Defeat? Hope?

You don't know what you feel, but now is the time to explore that, you suppose. There's nothing else you can do. Now, you just need to find a way to get these feelings out of your system..."

About

This is my first ever solo games jam project, and my first time experimenting with Twine! This project is my contribution to the ELEVATE: Lowestoft Games Jam, Days 1 & 2: "A Letter to Past Me". It was a great opportunity to start delving into how to make narrative driven games!

I only had a little over 24 hours for this project, but it was really fun experimenting with my plans in the limited time I had! I wanted to utilise the basics of Twine as best I could! I've always thought about what the bad future Ness' temporary mentor, Buzz Buzz, came from might entail, and so I wanted to provide my own insight with this short jam. Hope you enjoy!
