A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

This is a teaser demo for a mystery visual novel about Lanny, a retiree and widower, and his friend Opal, a queer woman who lives on the houseboat next door. Their neighbors Eugene and Betty are missing. This demo is just a few minutes long. It's my first time using Ren'Py and my first time making a traditional visual novel.

If you enjoy the demo, I hope you'll follow me for more from Lanny and Opal in the future.

The opening of the game deals with family death and substance abuse.

Made for the Summer Shades Jam -- it's my jam, so I decided it was okay to use the same name for my game.

I love all the details in the characters and backgrounds! I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. :)
