Once in Flowerlake

This is a short story in a sci-fi setting with a top-down view, telling the story of a nameless man lost in routine in the middle of a cold world and soulless machines. But what if it could be different?

About the Game

You will have to live through a brief moment in the life of a nameless man, who found himself in the middle of a cold world and was stuck in a routine job. One day an event happened in the man's life that changed the whole further course of his life and his views on what he was doing all the time after waking up...

Features:
  • An unhurried story, invented by one man, with a finale that will leave you with food for thought.
  • Once In Flowerlake is a non-violent game, with no need to shoot or kill anyone.
  • Nice visual style and atmosphere of the cold, winter world.
  • Atmospheric soundtrack to keep the right mood.
