Wave's Scripts
The first game I've made, following the daily life of my character Puppy Wave. As the player you get to choose how they go about their day, learning more about them and the world around them during the process.
This game is set within the Trans in Barking character universe for my works. If you wish to know more, that colored text will direct you to an in-progress version of a wiki documenting my works altogether.

Trivia
The early demo version of this was immensely inspired by the Stanley Parable, with a narrator just as dramatic and a ton of fourth-wall breaking. Only a small bit of this original concept made it into the final game as a secret, dream ending. It IS worth noting that such a game like this (Wave's Scripts) wouldn't exist in general without that classic game linked above!
I originally considered having Puppy visit even more of Amaryllis, but scrapped that due to the scope of the game as is.
In the original game's concept - something drastically different from the final release - there was an ending where you controlled the narrator and could lead them to victory or death(s) in a exploring sequence.
This game is a tie-in to a future short story involving Puppy Wave. Though as of writing said story doesn't exist yet!
In a realistic sense, Puppy Wave is the oldest character I've had star as the protagonist of one of my works. Said age being within their late-40s.
The cover art design is basically giving the viewer a blunt sight of Puppy Wave from the getgo. It's also inspired by the cover art for Andrew WK's album I Get Wet. The neon background colors were chosen because the protagonist is a nonbinary lesbian themselves.
Title for this game was chosen because these are essentially the scripts of Puppy Wave's life.
I specifically left the sex scene section very vague and brief because I want to the viewer to fill in the blanks for what moves Puppy brought out in the brothel. And because leaving it quick and vague is funny to me.
