Daily Pages

Daily Pages is a work-in-progress prototype developed for the Safe In Our World Mental Health Game Dev Champions 2024 jam. Inspired by titles like The Sims and Coffee Talk, this early build invites you into the role of a new café and bookstore owner. The space, brimming with family memories and cozy ambiance, offers a refuge where you can interact with NPCs as they relax, order coffee, or browse for books. Begin to shape the shop’s atmosphere and explore basic customization options.

As Daily Pages evolves, it envisions a warm, narrative-driven experience. Not only are you managing the shop’s layout and customer interactions, but you’re also navigating your own journey of post-pandemic reconnection, mental well-being, and personal growth. Through immersive dialogues, cherished memories, and meaningful choices, each decision draws you closer to a fulfilling narrative of self-discovery. Your feedback on this prototype will play a key role in shaping Daily Pages as it grows into a community-centered story.

Prototype Details:

• Version: Early prototype with limited animations and free asset pack art
• Features: NPC interactions, basic coffee and book service, initial customization

Thank you for exploring this early stage of Daily Pages. I am excited to develop it further!
