Usually I go first submitted to last, but we’re going backward this time:
Neapolitan, by Rylie Eric
Note: Followed the Return to your Roots (2022 - 3 entries) and Trans Rep 2022 (2022 - 23 entries) jams
Neapolitan is a collection of three linear story meant for previous jams but never released until now. It was made in Twine. The stories are named after the Neapolitan ice cream flavours: Vanilla (following the creation of an Ice Cream Clicker), Chocolate (a story about break ups and moving on), and Strawberry (a conversation between twins about their struggles). When you clear them all, you get to read an Author’s note about the game and themself.
Although they are pretty short, each story do convey realistically struggles of doing things with your life, navigating through relationships, and accepting one’s self. It was fun to see each flavour being referenced in their respective stories. Like the ice cream, it was sweet.
Note: I am not sure why but the whole background seemed like it was glitching every time I moved to another screen?
