A World Without You by jaunefleur
An Anti-Romance Jam entry.
> Note: this entry was submitted as a demo. containing a prologue and 3 Chapters. The review will only reflect what is there.
Still the demo is quite long. I maybe needed a few hours to read it all (on playthrough).
Entry - More by Jaune - @jaunefleurwrites
CW: terminal illness, impending death, anxiety, death, teen pregnancy
Dealing with a World without You
You are going to die. You know it. Nothing will change from the facts that your illness is incurable and that you only have few moments left before your inevitable demise. You resigned yourself to your fate. But when Damin, a bubbly bubblegum-haired [person] crosses your path, everything you thought about life flips upside down.
This is the premise of the project. At the current state of the demo, you've met that person, but sparks haven't quite flown just yet between you two.
From the start, it is clear AWWY is quite anchored in the Tumblr/CoG school of IF, with its custom UI, expected extensive length, and flowery style. However, instead of focusing on branching and choices, AWWY takes a more linear approach with a twist. This makes sense with the story told, considering the MC's fate is sealed - unless a magical cure comes at the last minute, they will die no matter what.
So, rather than giving player a plethora choices, the demo subvert expectations by switching POVs within a chapter, limiting choices to one or two for flavour within a chapter. You may start the chapter with your MC, before the story is cut to your mother's POV or your brother's or Damin's. Parsed through those, you are treated to some flashbacks, exploring the different character's pasts, and how those events shaped their present.
This creates an interesting dynamic, making the story feel at times more like a movie than and interactive game. The switches between POV or time period are also clearly indicated at the start of each part. Having to control the MC through the eyes of another character was a bit surreal, but in a good way!
Maybe a downside to this approach is the evident lack of player agency throughout the story. Even with the MC referred as 'you' in their POV, you feel more like a spectator than an active participants. While again, this make sense considering the context - you can't affect the end - it does take a bit away from the interactivity of the game, making the project look more kinetic than interactive in nature.
This is not an inherent critique of this aspect of the project, as kinetic stories can pull a bigger punch than a choke-full-of-choice game. And I can see this story being one of those. It is just that, at time, some opportunities to elevate a scene through interactivity were missed, which could have made important beats more impactful (like the scene where the MC claims to hate everyone).
On the other hand, it did work quite well for the character creation, avoiding any potential choice-fatigue for the player by spreading out those choices throughout the story - only bringing up relevant elements when necessary.
I struggled as well with the pace of the story, as it went back and forth between past and present, and between POVs, making something the sequence of events a bit... confusing. A perhaps good example would be when Damin meets the MC at the butterfly grove*, for the first time it seems, but doesn't seem to recognise the MC (who turns out to be their neighbour) in the next chapter, or whether Damin arrived before the MC into town or the reverse. This resulted in some high-pressure events, like the fight between the MC and Damin, feeling a bit coming out of nowhere (unless it was supposed to be a flashforward?).
In the same vein, it seemed like the prose focused a bit too much on (over)telling the player what was happening, rather than let the scene speak for itself. This lead often to repetitions in one same passage/paragraph*. I thought this was a bit of a shame, since there are pretty poetic descriptions of actions/setting, but were drowned in explanations. A bit more TLC on the prose will help the flow of the story. For example, hinting at a character's feelings through action only (instead of the action + description of the feeling) - like breathing a bit too fast or twitching when anxious, or freezing when someone is angry talking to you - or use punctuation and formatting to establish at a tone (instead of describing the tone then the uttered words) - like three dots to show uncertainty or disdain, or a en-dash to choke on words when emotional.
*Sidenote: this scene felt pretty magical with the butterflies dancing!
*Repetition can be useful, but should be used in moderation for strongest impact.
Underneath it all, there is a good base for an interesting story. The characters, though clearly flawed (good!), feel believable and quite human (especially the moody teenagers). Their pain will still pull your heartstrings. It is set up to be a tearjerker, for sure!
Most introduced characters have clear motivations, goals, and challenges to overcome - mainly carrying on after MC passes. It is quite clear where the story is going, and it could make for quite the heartbreaking and bittersweet conclusion.
Out of all characters introduced so far, I particularly enjoyed Damin's sassy grandmother. She seems like a treasure, and a needed comedic relief in this heavy story. I hope we see more of (and learn more about) her in future chapters.
Another aspect I quite enjoyed was the addition of assets in the game, particularly the images. The demo gave a neat way of choosing Damin's gender (and inherent design), as well as customising our room (by choosing one of "our" drawing). Seeing our sketchbook getting filled as we move from chapter to chapter, used as an alternative to a written journal, was a nice touch. I hope more are planned for the future, their designs were lovely.
Note: I picked the hippopotamus :P
The premise of the game made me thing of The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, which I think it took inspiration from?
There was supposed to be audio according to the credits, but I didn't hear any music during my playthrough. I had some small issues with the game itself, with the OpenDyslexic font not working, or the colour palette not being quite accessible (not contrasted enough) for easy reading. I also picked up on a few wrong pronouns for Damin and wrong names for myself.

genuinely funny you can just be like, the plot of the winchesters is just the Berens SPN Spiral/Lateralus Spiral recentered on the narccissus story and Reflections 11/11/7 with The Trap hiding the green goo that drove billie mad at the end that nobody ever thought to ask for The Truth that was lost between the edits, and everyone got angry about death going bad rather than asking why.
Rather than watching the Empty hide in her library, as the buzz buzz buzzing in its head was made Loud from the forbidden Different Worlds child exploding AllSouls and Generational Divine Trauma from Before the Beginning.
I hope by now everyone has figured out what Dean's final door is to crucify his own ego before it's too late, to find the road in the light to lift him out before he pines away sealed off from humanity, and what place truly embodies that deepest generational trauma, that deepest personal fears of his own, and the answer to who he is. He knows who he's not. But here, as that ego crosses into eternity and decides whether it wants to hold that identity and memory or disappear--he needs to find who. He. Is. As Lata says, I Know Myself.
Dean's final path is breaking down his own historic spiral and learning how to evolve, even in death, for the classic Know Thyself

Neo wasn't the one, Smith Was, but all became capable of the One in Human Potential, and it was their union that really fixed it all.
I can only show you the door.
You have to walk through it.

Beth Revis Quote Meme
A new york times best selling author who is most famous for her Across the Universe Trilogy- please feel free to edit or change pronouns for rp purposes
“I never thought about how important the sky was until I didn't have one.”
“You never know. Something small and broken really can be powerful.”
“Is almost a good enough reason for fear ?”
“I will do anything to make her happy again, so I give her the stars.”
“A leader isn't someone who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give him strength to others so that they may have the strength to stand on their own.”
“Science can make a heart beat,but it can’t make it race.”
“Love without choice isn't love at all.”
“But there's a difference, isn't there? Between saying goodbye and death.”
“What if eternity is nothing more than me, alone, in the darkness?”
“When you wake up, your face will be dry. But that doesn’t mean you didn’t cry.”
“They'll never truly be able to comprehend how much was lost for their limitless sky.”
“We can fight, and we can disagree, but I'm never going to let you walk away from me thinking I don't love you.”
“If it's a matter of dying here or dying there, I think I'd like to at least see the world first.”
“Don't you see? Those monsters you've been so worried about. Not aliens. People. The monsters have always been people.”
“What matters right now is this: we're each of us standing here, together, alive, together.”
“It’s not selfish to be yourself and pursue your dreams.”
“I want her so much that it overrides everything else, every other thought in my head, every instinct, every restraint.”
“And I know what I told my father was true: let us taste the world, and we’ll do whatever it takes to shape it into our home.”
“This ship is built on secrets; it runs on secrets”
“So you’re sticking with me, and I’m sticking with you.”
“I’m sorry.’ The two most inadequate words in the English language.”
“A leader doesn't make pawns - he makes people.”
And there is nothing between us but rain.
Then there is nothing between us at all.”
“Choice or no, my heart is his.”
“I would trade all the stars in the universe if I could just have him back again.”
“But i don't care. Because we can say them or not; it doesn't matter. What is in our heats is real whether we name it or let it exist only in darkness and silence.”
“Even when you're silent, even when you block out all noise, your body is still a cacophony of life.”
“Because I can think of no better way to meet a girl than to see her through the eyes of the story she loves best.”
“It's bad, being frozen, but it's better than waking up alone.”
“Who are the real monsters?”
“It wasn't that he called me a freak. It was the way he said it. Like he really meant it. Like he believed it.”
“He's the only stable thing in the swirling chaos.”
“And in her smile I see something more beautiful than the stars.”
“This is the secret of the stars. In the end, we are alone. No matter how close you seem, no one else can touch you.”
“Well, sometimes home is a person.”
Dreams are like that: they go in and out of memories and scenes, but they're never real. They're never real, and I hate them because they aren't.”
“My heart stutters—not why? or how?—those are not the important questions. The really important question is: by whom?”
“You gonna fight for something, you fight for something that you're willing to die for.”
“But of course these are scientists. Tell them to leave something alone, and all they want to do is poke it with a stick.”
“I've never seen the stars before.And I never knew they were so beautiful.”
“But, really, grief left a hole in you, and while you healed around the hole, you never didn't have it. A piece of you was gone. You couldn't heal something that wasn't there.”
“Maybe the secret of the stars has nothing to do with being alone.”
“But...If my life on Earth must end, let it end with a promise.
Let it end with hope.”
“It's not knowing that's killing me. Not knowing if there's a chance that something can change, not knowing if there's hope at all.”
“There is only him and me and this thing between us that I cannot name, not out loud, but that my heart knows is love.”
“I can think of no better way to meet a girl than to see her through the eyes of the story she loves best.”
“It is like a piece of my soul had been lost, empty, and it is now filled with the light of a million stars.”
“But death doesn't work like that. It doesn't care if someone loves you, doesn't want you to go. It just takes. It takes and it takes until eventually you have nothing left.”
“I want to take her into my arms and hold her tight. But at the same time, I know that is the exact opposite of what she wants. She wants to be free, and all I want is to hold her tight against me.”
“More than the sound of my own beating heart, I miss the sound of a ticking clock. Time passes. It must pass....”
“I feel alone.”
“I have the whole world now, but I don't have him.”
“Sometimes home is a person.”
“You could have valued our lives more than your secrets.”
“That is what a book is: a million little things, a thousand feelings, hundreds of experiences, all melted together and sculpted into a book-shaped vessel.”
“If we don't have that, what do we have to live for? Does it matter if it's a lie if it keeps us alive?”
“She was a good person. She didn’t deserve to die.”
“The sea is a dangerous place because it makes you believe in forever.”
“Memories always kill nightmares.”
“I cannot imagine a more perfect hell than being trapped inside my own mind.”
I don't mean i feel lonely; I mean i feel alone, the same way i feel the blanket resting on my body, or the feathers of my pillow under my head, or the tight string of my sleep pants twisted up around my waist. I feel alone as if it were an actual thing, seeping throughout this whole level like mist blanketing a field, reaching into all the hidden corners of my room and finding nothing living but me. It's a cold sort of feeling, this.”
“Sorry? Sorry? Sorry isn't enough. Every. Single. Thing. I ever loved is beyond my reach now. Everything I ever wanted. Everything I ever was.”
“Power isn’t control at all — power is strength, and giving that strength to others. A leader isn’t someone who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own.”
“Old people die. It's what they do. “
“If I can only see him in madness, is it worth trying to hold onto sanity?”
“You must dedicate your whole life to this idea: you are the caretaker of every single person on this ship. They are your responsibility.
You can never show weakness in front of them: you are their strength.
You can never let them see you in despair: you are their hope.
You must always be everything to everyone on board.”
“This is the secret of the stars. In the end, we are alone no matter how close you seem, no one else can touch you. Maybe the secret of the stars has nothing to do with being alone.”
“You never know all of a person; you only know them in a specific moment of time.”
“Even though I know the rain is fake, it feels the same as real rain, and I desperately need that.”
“I can't be the kind of leader you want me to,I will never, ever be the kind of leader you want me to be. And I will be better because of it.”

Hey guys! I just dropped the new and improved AWWY demo, and I’m so happy with this. I want thank to my beta-testers who had volunteered their time to help me (You guys are great and I love you 💕). There are a lot of changes that I’m happy with. And I hope you enjoy this🌻✨ (Also: The music doesn’t work, I don’t what’s wrong since it was working fine on my side, I think it has something to do with compressed file and I’m trying to figure how to fix that next update).

cant tell you how bad it feels to constantly tell other artists to come to tumblr, because its the last good website that isn't fucked up by spoonfeeding algorithms and AI bullshit and isn't based around meaningless likes
just to watch that all fall apart in the last year or so and especially the last two weeks
there's nowhere good to go anymore for artists.
edit - a lot of people are saying the tags are important so actually, you'll look at my tags.
#please dont delete your accounts because of the AI crap. your art deserves more than being lost like that #if you have a good PC please glaze or nightshade it. if you dont or it doesnt work with your style (like mine) please start watermarking #use a plain-ish font. make it your username. if people can't google what your watermark says and find ur account its not a good watermark #it needs to be central in the image - NOT on the canvas edges - and put it in multiple places if you are compelled #please dont stop posting your art because of this shit. we just have to hope regulations will come slamming down on these shitheads#in the next year or two and you want to have accounts to come back to. the world Needs real art #if we all leave that just makes more room for these scam artists to fill in with their soulless recycled garbage #improvise adapt overcome. it sucks but it is what it is for the moment. safeguard yourself as best you can without making #years of art from thousands of artists lost media. the digital world and art is too temporary to hastily click a Delete button out of spite

Came back wrong? How about came back right, except that the world you came back to is wrong. Came back just like waking up from a long nap only to find that the people who love you broke themselves into shards and bloody bargains to get you back.
There are new stains that nobody will explain, hidden beneath the rug in the upstairs hallway. Your mother's left eye is clouded and strange. The cat no longer goes near your brother. There's a sharp-edged shadow now, under your lover's smile.
Everybody says you must be remembering wrong, but your sense of smell is just as good as ever. The closet that used to smell like cedar and cinnamon smells like sulfur, now, and nobody will tell you why.
#came back wrong#came back right#came back to find the people you left become mad scientists and necromancers#came back to a world that should have moved on without you#and DIDN'T
