The Monster, The Cage
The web build may need a minute to load.
A short, 128x128 pixel art visual novel.
Spi has been transported to a pitch-black land, a land in which the most terrible nightmares dwell.
The only source of safety in this land seems to be a cage, a cage that has light to ward off the nightmares.
And inside that cage . . . Is a girl.
While playing the game you may come across some unfamiliar terms, you can refer to the little glossary below to help you in this regard:
| Word | Pronunciation | Ancient Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Spi | S-pee | - |
| Mor | Mo-r | - |
| Dayk | Da-ye-k | Mother |
| Malaikeen | Ma-la-ee-keen | Angels |
| Tekeya | Te-ke-ya | The point of congruence between two worlds |
| Nara | Na-ra | Holy guardian |
This novel was created for Spooktober Visual Novel Jam #3, which ran for a month. However, I only joined in during the last week of the jam. I do believe the quality and length of the game is reflective of that, but I hope you manage to enjoy it nevertheless.
The script was also mostly written in a single night, so I ask that you forgive any mistakes that you may come across.

Sehr gut! It is not scary but it gives off an ominous feeling and a sense of mystery. The sound design is lit, really helps the mood. Anyways I just like to check the works of the people I meet in game jams
Loved the atmosphere and the world building <3
The little glossary with the translation is a nice touch!
Thank you! <3
