About the Game

The class reunion has ended.

Old friends Neal and Jack, awkwardly reunited, take a late-night drive over to their old elementary school, shut down for summer break. For some reason, it's open.

Our Dirge is a game made in RPGMaker MV. It's somewhere between a visual novel, adventure game, and walking simulator. It's about a lot of things. I guess it's mostly about being an adult.

Characters

Meander through hallways and make offhand comments from the perspective of Neal Lin. Following close behind you and chiming in is Jack Langel.

Featuring...

  • Miscellaneous conversations
  • Dialogue choice & multiple endings
  • Lotta walkin' around and checkin' stuff out
  • Trying to figure out how to turn on the lights
  • About 3 hours of all of that ^
And....
  • Goofy character animation
  • Unique digitally painted backgrounds
  • Cool soundtrack i did (it's got synthesizers...)
  • Mid-aughts to early tens American pop culture garbage that is not worth remembering

(No need to worry about getting a "bad ending" or making "bad decisions" -- everything is worthwhile. Listen to your heart!)
