--------------
A surreal visual novel/dating sim style atmospheric game about going to work and meeting someone.
This is a very short game with 4 endings which can all be achieved in about 15 minutes.
Contains: mild blood/gore, surreal/unsettling visuals, dreamlike atmosphere, unreality, stalking, romance, gas stations, bus rides, too many teeth, he wont stop staring, quick morning showers, a tasty snack, why wont he stop staring, watching television, taking a nap, making choices, aisles and aisles
This game was made in one day within 7 hours as a personal challenge to myself.
AS ALWAYS I do not usually include jumpscares in my games! this is a jumpscare free game that focuses on atmosphere and dialog rather than cheap scares!
This game was NOT inspired by anything specific. I do not read creepypasta (any similarities to a "jeff the killer" is a disappointing coincidence), the name "John Doe" is based off IRL placeholder names that are used for unidentified people, I did not know about a game called "your boyfriend" when I made it and I have no interest in learning about it.
The game was just supposed to be a silly, campy and purposefully edgy dating sim for fun to play around with dating sim/horror stereotypes and to challenge myself to make a game in personal record time.
