Without a Dawn is less than an hour long, but its atmosphere lingers for days. Sometimes the shortest games leave the deepest marks. #shortgames #indiegames #gamingcommunity @jessemakkonen.com #withoutadawn

#WithoutADawn クリア。
ある女性の深夜の体験を描くホラーノベル
アドベンチャー。
現実と虚構の狭間、夢の中にいるような
まどろみを表現するゲーム体験が秀逸。
音響とアートが完璧に融合しており
深い没入感を得られる。
ホラー要素は控えめだがどこか不安になる。
心理的な表現が凄かったです。。

Heya folks, here's a one-off short featuring an indie visual novel called Without a Dawn by Jesse Makkonen.
I'm a big fan of Jesse's horror games, ever since I played the first Distraint game when it launched. Picked this one up yesterday

Without a Dawn Review
Without a Dawn is a powerful and moving, albeit short, experience. A distilled shot of emotion and anxiety wrapped into a surreal package.
