Nil's Fine Game (Demo)

A story of a mentally ill child trying to learn how to communicate.

Your name is PETER RICHARD PETERS. You are fifteen years old, you have an affinity for electronic music, and you REALLY LIKE THE COLOR PURPLE. You haven't been diagnosed, but you often SEE THINGS THAT ARE NOT THERE, specifically a NOT-SO-IMAGINARY FRIEND WHO NEVER SHUTS UP, whilst STRUGGLING WITH YOUR SOCIAL SKILLS. And you are both on a quest. A quest to FIGHT THE FALSE GOD.

...but not before fetching some bread for your parents, of course.

                                                                                                                       

- Story-driven gameplay! Tense turn-based combat! A diverse and original cast of characters!

- Multiple ways to play! Already beat the game? Try again but do something different! You might end up finding something new.

- A rich, multilayered world of danger and adventure! So far confined to exactly two layers because it's a demo! What did you expect! That's still one more than you probably get in real life!

- Communication!

- Communication, but again for emphasis! Seriously, be nice to strangers and even nicer to friends. The world's dangerous, you should really be careful who you piss off.

- She, your only (imaginary) (hallucinated) friend! Yes, "She", the pronoun! She floats! She reads minds! She pops in and out of reality like a balloon as she pleases (often at inconvenient moments)! You will never make her go away as long as you are alive and she knows it! She! Yeah!

- Meticulous attention to detail - this two-hour-long game has been in development for over a year. Not to brag, but... this is not a careless project!

- More to come! The game is just a demo right now - we're barely getting started! Stay tuned for constant updates on the future of Nil!
