There's no Solace in Grey [Prototype]

Five different individuals. And the village of Solace Grey.

All unrelated to one another, bond by a place and young noble.

Who are they? And what destiny fate has in store for them?

This game was made during the Short Story Game Jam, that took place between July 31st and August 5th.

Original Idea:

During the development of Solace Grey (which you can find here), several characters were brainstormed. Of the many that were accepted and rejected, I got the privilege of writing five of them (yes, the very same five individuals you'll get to meet in this short story).

At the time of inception, we (the team of Solace Grey) were uncertain of the direction we wanted to take the game. There were two possible ideas: a dark Alice in Wonderland tale or the rich patron idea (which was the idea we ended up taking).
As such, the characters I ended up creating merged a bit of both.

Since I thought it was shame to leave them forgotten in the drawer, I decided to bring them to life again at this jam. However, time limitations forbade me from fleshing out every single one of them, creating this tale with an uneven tone and direction.

Perhaps, with time, I can get to sit with all of them again and really tell their story. For now, think of this as an aperitif before the main dish!

Thank  you very much for playing! :D
