While I originally intended to write a game covering all 8 songs, I never did manage to get around to doing that.
This game likely only works under QTads and (presumably) HTML TADS.
The about menu mentions additional commands and has a walkthrough.
CWs for jam version (1.0): implied depression, implied gore, suicide/loss of identity, debt slavery.
Songs currently used as inspiration:
Ornette Coleman - Lonely Woman
In The Passions - I'm in Love With A German Film Star
Amigo the Devil - Closer
16th Place, Overall Goodness; 13th Place, Best Use of Songs - ShuffleComp 2024
This game was part of Shufflecomp and was based on three different songs.
In it, you go through a sequence of surreal worlds with strange and evocative imagery, like diamonds in places diamonds shouldn't be and hallucinations in an antique film viewer.
The three scenes feel mostly unrelated, except each ends with a 'hook' for the next one, linking into a loop at the end.
The game uses a variety of colors to distinguish the different scenes.
I liked the surreal feel and the variety. I felt like I wished for a little more elaboration in both the story and the code, as sometimes things felt a little rushed or underimplemented. I'm glad I played it though.
