About the Game

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀▓▓▓▓▓

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

MOOD is a gloomy, philosophically-walking visual novel beyond it's genre. The player will meet a girl and take a walk with her through the backstreets of a decaying city. Ask the right questions, listen to your interlocutor and find the truth in the dialogues. Nothing bad will happen, we promise.                                                                                            ⠀▓▓

EVERY CHOICE IS WRONG.

The game doesn't have “right” endings or choices. A good intention can turn out to be a bad one in the future, just as a bad deed can turn out to be the safest. Make choices with your heart, show her the real you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀▓▓▓▓▓
Did we mention that every choice affects the environment? Oops…

GLOOMY SURROUNDINGS.

Clouds overhead and dirty snow underfoot. The game's locations reflect the realities of provincial post-CIS cities. Our story begins in one of them. Not the most cheerful landscape, is it?
Every scene is inspired by real-life streets.

GAME FEATURES:

  • A unique visual style done in the “dirty” shades of a winter city.

  • Melancholic and gloomy soundtrack, in the genres of Dark Ambient, Post-punk and Witch House.

  • 4k artwork.

  • Locations tell their own story, just look closely.

  • An environment that changes depending on "darkness" scale.

  • Tons of undertone for the riddle enjoyers.

  • New content on re-runs.

  • ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

  • You can steal beer and smoke cigarettes! Lots of cigarettes!

  • Hand-drawn art. No AI.
