About This Game

It is October 14, 2002.

In this game, you take on the role of Chichi Pyonma. She's a 15-year-old high school student from the unremarkable small town of Silver Bay, MN. Today is a particular day — a rather important one — that drastically shaped Chichi's adolescence from this point onward. It is not for the faint of heart.

Before playing this short experience, it is highly recommend that you delve into the contents of pyonpyon87's blog. This is a companion piece to Niomi's debut full-length record, 'chichi'.

FEATURES

• A short interactive story!

  From when you boot up the game, to the moment it inevitably closes on you, oct 14 serves to tell a short, atmospherically rich, and (mostly) historically accurate story that allows the player to live a few minutes in Chichi's world from a top-down RPG perspective. There is only one ending.

  

  ​

• In-depth environmental flavor text!

  You can interact with just about every object in the environment. You'll get a little bit of world-building every time you do! Never skip over the details, you never know what you could be missing...

  

  ​

• A period-accurate MPEG Audio Layer 3 playback device!

  In other words, it's a working MP3 player, and it still has a couple songs on it too! Isn't that cool? However, in order to access it, you might have to snoop around places you shouldn't be.

  

  ​

• Cute character portraits!

  Everyone's favorite anxiety-ridden teenager gets her own set of handcrafted facial expressions that appear during dialogue! These talking heads, as well as the game's art and visual assets as a whole, were all drawn by Niomi.

  

  ​

• Crusty rag!
