Chatempty
Description
This website is about a game that is still in development, right now, it functions for testing purposes. The core feature lets players leave messages behind and discover what messages others have left. The final vision is an experimental walking simulator that incorporates the storytelling and this asynchronous multiplayer messaging mechanic. The screenshots show the current testing area, while The Vision section highlights the main features planned for the full game. Right now, there's also one public chat available. Feel free to type something there or leave a message in the testing area. Welcome 😊!
Screenshots
The Vision
Notes from Players
Notes are left by other real players and make the core of the game. Comments about the game, confessions, dumb jokes, personal stories, hints... Read the thoughts of people who played before you, and leave your own notes for future players to find.
Story
A story about two colleagues told by letters found by the player. You're asked to check out their stations in calm wilderness, where they once studied and lived. But they've suddenly left. Why?
Immersion
A walking simulator where players can hop on for a brief moment and discover others' thoughts. Walk around for a bit and perhaps simply sit on the ground with soft ambient music and birds singing in the distance.
Small Open World (Planned)
After the credits, you'll be able to return and explore the world for new areas and some minigames. This feature is currently planned but isn't in development yet.
