About the Story
Your family has weird traditions. They shun outsiders, and sometimes even their own unless they are deemed worthy. For some unknown reason, they always make a big deal of their childrens' sixteenth birthday and perhaps most puzzling of all, everyone has exactly two kids. Never more. Never less. It's not a rule either, and no one ever gives an explicit reason. It's just the way things are.
When you find out why, you wish you hadn't.
This game was made for the Single Choice Jam and as such contains 15 to 30 minutes of play time and one choice.
The art assets were all made by me and the sound effects and music were sourced from pixabay.com, so no copyrighted material was used.

Entrant - Single Choice Jam 2025
Ratings and Reviews
With simple art carrying a hand drawn feel, suspenseful writing and an interesting premise, Year Sixteen is a short but entertaining VN. On another note, I'm a little more iffy on the choice of background music, particularly for the first half, but I didn't mind it too much.
Be warned, this story takes a darker turn. If that is not your thing, turn back.
You have turned sixteen. In the midst of all the celebrations, you learn of a terrible secret, once which may require you to head down a dark path. You have a single choice to make.
Speaking of the single choice you get here, it's not a traditional list of choices you get in the VN format. Instead, you have some object(s) you can interact with on the screen, which serves as your choice. (Interesting take on the single choice!) I managed to find two endings, and I'm not sure if that was everything. (Spoiler - click to show)You have to either push the button, or refuse to interact with it and let a hidden timer run out. Great idea there. Remember that you can still say no.
It was solid for a short bit of entertainment in the single choice jam. I liked it.
