You Will Never Be Enough

Submitted for The Bring Out Your Ghosts jam--a place to show off the ghosts of the game development process. Abandoned or forgotten WIPs. Overly ambitious projects that never got off the ground. Notes and ideas for games that never came to be.

You will Never Be Enough was a project started in 2021 just as I was beginning to explore my dream of making a video game. In researching tools within my budget (free), I found GB Studio which gave me an accessible vehicle to develop a game and continue growing my pixel art skills. And my first games console was an original Game Boy. It seemed a fitting place to start.

As of August 2024, this project is incomplete and on hiatus.

CONTROLS
Move - Arrow Keys/WASD
Interact - Z
(If the controls don't seem to work, try clicking inside the game window first)

Hints if you're stuck

• There is an infinite coffee bug in Annie's room. There are only meant to be 2 cups of coffee to find, but if you need another, just go back to her apartment.
  
• There's an exit to the east inside the bodega. Playtesters had trouble spotting the gap in the wall and updated graphics were not added to this version.
