Aging Is Inevitable, but My First Game Is Playable

A browser game made in HTML5

I'm making a game and I'm calling it methyl-ethyl-death ðŸ’‰âœ¨

On one hand, it’s a critique of beauty norms and the weird pressure around aging. On the other, it’s just an excuse to lean into girlcore nostalgia and make something a little silly and a little dark. It’s far from perfect, but it’s playable, and I kind of love it for what it is. (A feeling I'm also learning to extend to my actual wrinkles)

What’s in the Game

  • Serum ammo: Results may vary.
  • A timer ticking my beauty lifespan (aka age)
  • A reminder that snail guts and I are not friends (allergies, long story).

What I’m Working On

  • Fixing a Chrome bug that makes things a little funky. Sorry about that!
  • Experimenting with game play (ideas welcome)
  • A Real Title Screen

What’s Next

At some point, I’d love to bring this to a playtest 0-0
