Still Joking: Visual Novel

Still Joking is:
• A mix of visual novel, interactive fiction, and adventure
• A world of reflections where everything is like on our side of the mirror but a little different
• A story about characters with complex and unique relationship scales
• A detective mystery where you know who but want to also know why

We have:
• Multiple endings for main storylines and for each significant character
• 12 to 15 hours of playthrough (1,000+ choices and 400,000 words)
• Interactive elements (interactive points, QTEs, investigation mechanics)
• A fully voiced cat :-)

The Story:
Reflections always do the exact same thing we do. They are forced to repeat all the morning routines, all the self-affirmations and funny faces, and sometimes even the death of their prototype.

So what happens after? How do they deal with it?

Play as Iris, a reflection of the famous actress murdered in front of the mirror. Torn away from usual life, you’re at a turning point where decisions must be made, and they will shape you.

Embrace the sudden journey through the void accompanied by your inner voice and many other distinct characters.

Live your life.
Build your future; solve a murder; meet other reflections and learn of their own tricky stories.
Have fun.
Step into the deadly void to hear its voice; accept a cheese roll from the Chosen One; get drunk; and start losing your mind.
Don’t have fun.
Complete tasks for different factions; impress your curator; try to understand the nature of mysterious cracks; and piece together the story of this world – one thing at a time.
Solve problems.
Break up arguments; expose the wrongdoers; offer support to those who truly need it.
Create problems.
Become the reason for an argument, injury, or even… death.

Do it on purpose, do it unintentionally, or just don’t at all.
Be loved, be lonely and yet never alone. Joke, and then joke some more.
Welcome onboard!
