falling, asleep

Short game about my OCs made for SuNoFes / Yaoi Game Jam 2025.

• 5.8k words
• 2 endings (1 bad end, 1 true end)
• original music and art
• the mortifying ordeal of being asked about a girlfriend at the dining table

Spencer Lim wakes up and gets thrown into another life that's like a crappy fanfic written by his own parents -- go to higher education, get a job, get married. Oh, and Grandma is here too. Except that they forgot to factor his own feelings into all of this. Can he escape from this heteronormative Asian fantasy world where he's a wagie? ... Does he want to?

Or:

What if you wanted to live your life

but God said

go to sleep become a business student

CONTENT WARNING (light)

mentions of physical accidents, homophobia (via heteronormativity), slight unreality/horror moments in the bad ending
