SCREAM JAM 2024 gHost's Choice -
There’s a lot going on in this visual novel! The game’s split-screen visual approach creates a great marriage of imagery and text, and conveys the split attention of Serenity, a character pulling a rough all-nighter. Over the course of one night, Serenity is trying to juggle finishing a midterm anthropology paper, keep tabs on her partner, Connor, stay awake, and talk to an online stranger. The narrative is open-ended at many stages, in terms of Connor’s loyalties, the nature of Serenity’s own behaviour, and the true intentions of the increasingly disturbing online stranger, Hoot83. The game has excellent pacing as it culminates the slow night into one that is turning wrong fast.
Thank you for submitting Night Owls to SCREAM JAM 2024, and congratulations on being selected as one of the ten gHost's Choice entries for the jam!
Thank you so much for playing! It was really exciting to be part of this jam, and I'm so glad you enjoyed Night Owls. Thanks for hosting and looking forward to more jams in the future!
This was fantastic. I really wish there was an easier way to go back and try different decisions after completing the game. (Just incase this makes a difference for the Game Jam and how easy it is for folks to see you, I'm copying my comment to here, and reiterating: This game is really awesome. The story is unsettling. the art is striking. If you see this comment, potential player: Play it now.)
