Hi everyone! We just released Nightware: https://sparekey.itch.io/nightware
It's a surreal horror adventure that lasts one night on an old computer. A friend gives you their old PC and asks you to install one update. The update brings back Pal, a small, cheerful desktop assistant who has been waiting a long time for someone to show around. Then a notice pops up: old assistants will be retired at 6:00 AM. Pal has until sunrise, and he'd rather you didn't log off before then.
Through the night the computer's forgotten programs wake up one by one: a fairground arcade, a neon city, a dollhouse where the toys are watching. Some of them remember the last person who stayed. Your drawings become real things, and what you say, keep and refuse is remembered until morning. Several endings.
