The Ultimate How-to-Socialize video game for the Socially Curious!
Social Caterpillar follows an introvert navigating the exhausting task of socializing. Interactions are puzzles that need solved. The more you solve, the more energy you gain to explore... but only if you can ignore the wet whispers of the mysterious Yellow Voice...
Solve people like puzzles!
Solve a myriad of puzzles, each with its own internal logic.
Exploration and experimentation reveals layers of secrets.
A story told through set pieces and implications.
Adjust CRT to preference, from NONE to EYES BLEED.
Maybe there's a hidden ARG in there. Maybe.
Sew. Shell. Eyes.
Increase your Social Battery!
Your Social Battery determines how far you can wander from the safety of your home. Interacting with people will drain your energy, but, like with any exercise, that energy will return greater than before. Grow and strengthen your little introverted larva until it becomes a big, strong caterpillar. But be careful: the comfort of the cocoon can be hard to escape.
