Dead Sky, CA

Note: light trigger warning, this story involves heavy discussion of trauma, alcohol and drug abuse,  homophobia, racism and light sexual themes (but is nonetheless SFW) alongside flashing images;  a 16+ rating is advised but not enforced.

Dead Sky, CA,  June 15th 1991. Your fist day living life independently.  At first, you feel liberated, but as the true nature of your town begins to show, you learn to trust nothing. You find yourself unexpectedly thrust into a dark and damaging illicit party scene as the comfort  of suburban life ebbs away as those you've trusted throughout your life here reveal their true colours.

Throughout the course of their 5 independent storylines, you learn that nothing about this town will forgive you. It'll chew you up and spit you out, leaving you alone and stranded in the desert; nothing and no one for miles to save you.

So, good luck out there, pal. You'll need it.

PS:  As I'm a solo dev, doing each and every aspect myself alongside college, don't expect updates to be instant. Plus, the fate of this project very much depends on the response as the development process is a giant time sap that risks time from studies and friends that I will only take if it catches on.

CRUCIAL NOTE: For all platforms, there are 3 separate versions; one in full 4k resolution, prioritising quality over performance and download size; one in 1080p, prioritising performance and smaller download size, and a build stripped of all animations and fast flashing images both for the best performance and a safe experience for those with photosensitivity risks.
