My Mother & Me
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
About the game
After ten long years, a daughter visits her deceased mother to pay her respects. They share a long hidden past that’s about to come out of the grave.
This game includes depictions of but does not condone the following: domestic violence, depression, suicide, and transphobia.
I used to love making short narrative ZZT games, so my first ever jam submission was made in that style! This is for the Adventure Jam 2023: https://itch.io/jam/advjam2023
How to play
This game was made in RPG Maker MV, and uses the default controls from that engine. Controller, mouse, and keyboard are supported.
Esc opens the menu

I've finished your game. IMO the best about your game is the storytelling. It was disturbing, sad and it was like having the worst nightmare in your whole life. The only drawback, there are hardly any puzzles and it was like only moving. Nevertheless, your game was a change.
I was surprised at how beautiful this was. It may not be much to look at (although the graphics have their charm), and there's very little gameplay (although that's used, quite cleverly, to deny the player any sense of agency), but the storytelling is strong. I'll remember this game.
Strong narrative, harrowing experience. Good work.
Thank you, that means a lot!
great game i felt it
