Unkindness is a top-down adventure game starring a young mute girl who gets trapped underground when she survives a strange train crash.

Will she find out what happened and make it out alive?

Features:

  • Virtual Boy Inspired Graphics! Unlike most art styles inspired by retro games, Unkindness has been created using the colour palette of Nintendo's infamous Virtual Boy. Enjoy seeing the horrors that await the little girl in three shades of red!
  • Classic Adventure Game Design! Taking inspiration from classic adventure games, Unkindness focuses on having the player progress through puzzles and exploration.
  • Unique Conversation Scenes! While our lead is mute, she can still meet and communicate with other people. All conversations are presented through questions that the little girl can respond to without speaking.

A really good game(demo). We enjoyed the retro style and the athmosphere.

Here is a short video we made while playing:

Keep up the good work!!!

I really enjoyed that demo, neat visuals and fun to play. Was it/is it being developed further?
