Taking a bike ride at night through the city, you encounter strangers and strike up conversations. 🌃

.:☆*:･' Best played with headphones and in Google Chrome .:☆*:･'

Inspired by melancholic city nights of Wong Kar Wai movies and Tamagotchi characters, "Strangers at night" is a short game that was made within a week as part of the "social distancing" game jam.

Thank you and enjoy! 💫

Thank u for soothing my soul this night. Going through some crisis, which includes loneliness... but this company made me feel more open to challenge. Maybe i'll try one night out tomorrow, hehehe

Even before the pandemic, I tend to isolate myself as I have a hard time forming deep connections with people. This game is special and playing it felt like experiencing a dream that blurs the line of reality. The art, music, and character design created an experience that is a kin to having a fleeting happy memory. I HIGHLY recommend playing this game for yourself, but if you feel like listening to someone talk ~ here's my play through ^^

I know it was said already but the atmosphere & colors are just so enigmatic and mysterious. And the warm and likeable characters create a great contrast to it.

Great work~ ^w^
