Overview

About this game

Backwater Eulogy is a stream of consciousness, autobiographical exploration of loss and the double-sided nature of grief. Told as a linear narrative, there are no choices, and there are no alternate endings. Sit and stay for a moment, before leaving.

Taking the form of a short visual novel, this is a short story of sorts about grief, moving on, and life in the rural Midwest. As a "kinetic novel" there are no alternative routes or choices- just one storyline to follow to its inevitable conclusion. Placing an emphasis on a small, curated experience, it is best experienced in one sitting.

Features:
  • 2000+ words (10-15 minute run time)
  • 10+ panels of highly rendered, hand-pixeled scenery
  • Hand-animated elements


CW: Contains mentions of animal death.
