Welcome to your First Day!

FIRST DAY
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Welcome to First Day!

This is a post about the development of the First Day. If you wanna read about the game itself, check the main page out!

Development

This idea came to me while talking to my friend about my experiences at my internship at Firaxis Games. I was talking about how much fun I was having, but how difficult it was to adjust to an office lifestyle. And when my copy of Hotline Miami fell onto my copy of Cult of the Lamb, lightning struck.

"First Day" is the first half of my planned story (That's right, I'm pulling a spider-verse baby). I'd say about 90% of my planned vision for First Day is done.

In terms of what I want to add to First Day to make it reach 100%:

  1. Fix the wonky end pacing (I was REALLY cramming at the end)
  2. Add a work minigame and nightmare sequences so sleeping/working isn't fade in fade out
  3. The Jerma Ending. (maybe)

And in terms of the second half of the story (I'm coining it Second Day), I'll for sure make it. But it'll be low on the priority list unless people really like this weird game for some reason.
