About the Story

Eugene goes to the club with his tiny friend Gabe as a wingman in their pocket, feeding them advice via Airpod.  Will Eugene be able to find love tonight?  Do they even need to?

This is a game I made for Shufflecomp 2024, the 2nd of 3 games I made for that event (you can play the 1st one here).  It started as a short little writing exercise, and grew from there.  I didn't intend this to be an aroace project at first, but it ended up going in that direction, and I'm glad it did.  Everyone on the team did a really great job; I've been wanting to work on a game with most of these folks for a long time now too!  Enjoy, and please leave a comment with your thoughts!

It's possible that I'm getting older or have a carbon monoxide leak in my house, but I frequently play games recently where I have absolutely no idea what's going on. Everything is in evocative prose but I don't know what it's evoking.

So I appreciate Bez's clear and straightforward stories with interesting characters where it's easy to follow along and see the story progress. This is a story about going to an event to meet people while a little guy in your pocket gives you dating advice through an airpod. You reveal some facts about yourself and become aware of others.

Like many of Bez's recent games, this is voice acted with a few different actors participating, and was styled nicely. Out of Bez's three games in this competition, this is the one that I most liked.
