Very Restrained Summer Fun

The sun is a deadly lazer, but living with the shutters closed and the A/C perpetually humming in the background of your half-light days and half-dark nights has reduced your brain to a blob of not writing goo.

A tired and dehydrated piece of micro (interactive) fiction.

Made over a couple of days for the Neo-Twiny Jam 2025.

As such, the game is very short-- 489 words total, by my own reckoning, which fits neatly under the 500 word limit of the jam.

This was my third and last entry for the jam. I really wanted to do something with Twine this time. I had fun, but I must confess that I would have been lost making it look anywhere near this good if it hadn't been for manonamora's one-page template!

If you've enjoyed the game,

please leave a comment below (that will make my day!),
rate the game to help others discover it (that will make my week!),
and
co
nsider supporting me on
LiberaPay
 (that will help me make more games!). 
Thank you kindly!
