schlo room explorer

A point-and-click game released on 11.09.2024. It is very short, but cute and fun to play.

Description of the game from itch.io: Explore the bedrooms of three Schlos in the first point-and-click game of the Schlo series!

Following the events of schlo complications, Drey Gan and Rain move into a new house occupied by strange and secretive genetically engineered humans. Drey gets a chance to explore and criticize the belongings of these people he just met in this new game.

This short game (play time is probably less than 10 minutes) was created to introduce four new Schlo figures and their dynamic with two established Schlo figures. It's not very serious.

trigger warnings: mention of human trafficking, cigarettes

Commentary

I think this game is good, fun and easy to digest. It was fun making a different kind of game than usual. Given the nature of the schlo project, there aren't many opportunities to make something like this. This game was made using TuesdayJS, which is like a game engine for Javascript visual novels. The program isn't optimized for point-and-click games, as a result the production process of this one was annoying. I had some more ambitious ideas for this project that didn't make it into the final result, such as animating the portraits that sit next to the room pictures during exploration. It was a fun idea, anyways.

Music

I didn't remember that this game had its own original soundtrack. I think the vision here was: it's a game that takes less than 10 minutes to play. It has five songs, but they mostly all use the same sounds. They're each only going to loop a few times, so it's more cohesive for them to sound similar.

  • fifth1: Static-y, repetitive
  • fifth2: Sleepy sounds with rattling sounds
  • fifth3: Dramatic sounds with sleepy sounds
  • fifth4: Dramatic but a little chill
  • fifth5: It really sounds like the other ones.
