Story

You play as a protagonist who could only find a job as a part time envelope folder at home. While being depressed about the current state of his life and living in fear of others judging him, a meteor falls behind his house. From the crash site, he has his first contact with Cube like aliens.

Are these Cubes going to become his life long friends? Or would they simply be used as a tool to advance in the materialistic rat race of human society? The choice is up to you.

Characters

Protagonist

Typical victim of the modern day job market. He folds envelopes at home to barely make his living. He is constantly in fear of his peers judging him, which lead him to never leave his house except for grocery. When he makes first contact with the cube, he decides to take them in out of loneliness.

Sarah Gable
A new neighbor that moved into a house near protagonist's. She has graduated college with an engineering degree at the age of 18. One day, she sees the protagonist interacting with the Cubes. She searches the meteor crash site behind the proagonist's house and finds a pair of Cubes for herself. She contacts the protagonist to exchange information on how to raise the Cubes.

Vasilij Walken

A mysterious businessman who is willing to exchange Cubes for very generous amount of money. His intentions are unknown and he never tells the protagonist what he does with the Cubes that are sold to him.

Marion Flora

A humble looking shopkeeper who is always ahead of time when it comes to the selection available at her general store. Due to her never changing happy face, people have hard time understanding what she is really thinking inside. She is somehow not aware of the flower that is growing on top of her head.

So I posted a screen shot of the game and the feedback wasn't so pretty. Time to struggle and make it better!


Here is what I tried. Hopefully It goes well with the current UI or maybe I have to design them again as well?

Small WIP gif of envelope folding. Still have to fix some details and add some juice to it.

You fold envelopes by using the arrow keys. You move your mouse while holding LMB and following the red squares to Glue them. Planning to have it so that the time you take folding and the precision of gluing factors into the final quality of the envelope.

What are the cubes made of?

They are made of space substances and typical intelligent life form stuff like brain and digestive system related stuff.

They eat stuff and then the digestive system processes it into a crumpled paper. That's how the crumple papers appear in player's room.

They have a life crystal in their body. This is the source of their power and the more they suffer emotional/physical pain, it shines brighter. When the life crystal is extracted from their body, Cubes die.

I meant more along the lines of are they meant to be squishy jelly cubes or bouncy bricks?

I always envisioned them to be bouncy bricks. Hard Rubber? Not so squishy
