A downloadable game for Windows and macOS


Have you ever felt like the harder you work, the worse it gets?

In this narrative game, Searching For…, you play as a detective story writer, unappreciated and unfulfilled, trying to write the first novel with the help of a neuroscientific project called Oneiros. Use Oneiros to enter imaginary mystery scenes and record your investigations in the form of literature.

Everything seems promising at first, until—your missing high school friend starts to haunt you, reminding you of your failures… Be the detective! look for clues to write! Can you create the perfect novel in your heart? Can you win, or can you win at all? Or maybe you can still find your missing friend, but does she even exist?


This is an MFA thesis project made at NYU Game Center.

Hiii, I've made a video about the game and wanted to share some feedback about it,  hopefully it is useful to you ^^

-The idea is quite interesting and original.

-The gameplay mechanics have potential, but they need a lot of polish, especially the ones related to the movement of the character.

-The game visually has some strong points but needs some extra work on the "enviroment" design (the big parts of the levels).

-Reducing the amount of text simplifiying some of it could be great as it is interesting to read, but at first that amount of text can make players quit as there gameplay is not balanced with the amount of text.

Hopefully this is useful to you :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)

Regards
