hi all!

my name is Rose. i write about unhinged women, sapphic darkness, deconstructions and tragedy. so, if any of those resonate, you’ll like MORTAL COIL.

i made the demo for MORTAL COIL with my artist + programmer team for My First Game Jam: Summer 2023, and it was such a fantastic experience: i couldn’t be happier with what we’ve done!

here’s the summary of the story!

You’re Ikuyo, an up-and-coming FPS gamer on the world’s biggest video & streaming platform: Eidolon. Your sister Sonoko is the Eidolon goddess @flowerfall: loved by millions for her modelling, self-care, and genuine authenticity.

And she’s just been cancelled.

Ikuyo struggles to reach her sister amid the storms of controversy, confused that Sonoko isn’t acknowledging the drama that’s raging on. Sonoko’s only response? It’s to join the 99th season of the televised death game, MORTAL COIL.

Frantic, afraid, and desperate: Ikuyo must choose whether to follow Sonoko into the depths of destruction, risking her life to save her sister who seems all too eager to play.

Will Sonoko slip away from Ikuyo’s grasp? Or will their fates be far worse than that?

i hope you enjoy if you choose to play the game! i’m looking forward to hearing what you guys think about it, especially on what we could improve on. :)

the demo includes “Part 1: Prologue” and “Part 2: Entrance”, about Ikuyo and Sonoko’s entrance to Mortal Coil, with a playtime about 30mins-1hr long.

thank you for reading! i hope you stick around to see what i’ll do.

~ Rose.
