"Hi... I'm JJ. Do you want to play a game?"

Meet JJ. She's very busy -- putting away her books, finishing her painting, playing in the gym. But secrets lie in the darkness, and things are not as innocent as they first seem. Can you uncover the unspoken truth? Will you pull on those silent threads that unravel the hidden web? More importantly, when you do, will you be brave enough to face what you discover?

Come on. JJ is waiting.

Time to finish: About an hour (if you reach a checkpoint, the game will give you a code so you can come back and continue later)

Controls: WASD to move, Mouse / Arrow Keys to turn, Space to interact, R to restart. You can adjust mouse sensitivity with the +/- keys.

Ages: Everyone

Tips:

  • If you think you've reached a dead end to the story, you can restart by pressing 'R'. But be aware -- not everything that seems like a dead end actually is!
  • At no point will JJ reappear after you wait a certain amount of time. In other words, if you cannot find JJ, either you reached an ending, or you need to do something else. The game is never waiting on a timer for her to appear again. A hint is to try to treat the game as much as real life as possible, and decide what to do next.
  • Just like real life, this game won't let you pause or save. But during most of the game nothing is on a timer, so you can take a break and come back later. And if you reach a checkpoint, you'll get a code so you can continue from there any time.
  • There are 5 toy chest codes in total -- can you find them all?

This game is complete (full story and gameplay), but I continue to make improvements when I have time. Currently, I'm focusing on improving the artwork. If you have any feedback about the game, let me know in the comments! :)

I'm glad you got it to work :)

If I saw your post sooner I might have suggested using another browser. I am not sure if the audio works in Safari.

Thank you for playing!

Good question -- so the hint the game gives is that it's to fix the "loose board in the gym". Look carefully at the different boards and see if you can guess which one it is. Then go up to it and press Space.

If you need more details let me know. I can tell you the exact answer but maybe you want to try first :D
