(The house is dark.

It wasn't always like this.)


Broken Tethers is a short game made for the 3rd O2A2 Visual Novel Jam, a jam about limiting yourself to one sprite, one background, and 1k words. It's set in the universe of an existing series of mine, Magic Unlocked, but playing that game is not required to understand this one. (The lack of context is intentional.)

Oh this was both sad and curious! I feel bad for Madison especially with spymapthing to the feeling of being there for someone, but the care not being reciprocated at all. It's more like Madison was clinging to Ezekiel for any bit of the normalcy she had with her friends back when they were kids but now it's nothing but a faded memory and a lot of bad blood is happening.

I was really curious about what exactly is happening and I think you did a great job in portraying such painful emotions with the jam limitations!

Though I'm not sure if it was a problem with the web version but I couldn't hear any music coming out from the VN, but aside from that lovely work done here~!
