afterimage / michael "gb_camera" dinh / for cdm 175 spring 2022

a game inspired by experiences i've had at convention centers for anime conventions with friends. late at night after all the goings are over and everyone's left (for better or worse), you walk out of the main hall and take in the space around you.

this game was originally going to be darker and focus on isolation and social anxieties, but i think i would rather have a lighter experience in the wake of *gestures vaguely* everything that's happened in the last two to three years.

this game is dedicated to the people and friends who i no longer talk to — whatever happened between us, positive, negative, or neutral, i thank you regardless for shaping me into who and what i am today.

wasd to move, mouse to look. you can shift to run. that's it! i hope you enjoy my meticulous (or non-meticulous) attention to detail and filling out a space, i guess.

"out of touch thursday" is a combination of the lucky star opening and daryl hall & john oates' out of touch. "maneater monday" is a combination of the first ending to the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya and daryl hall & john oates' maneater.
