The Quiet Hours

A cozy narrative mystery where you play a cat helping a blocked writer finish her novel, only to discover that the charming neighbor she’s falling for is a serial killer.

Why I made it

Well, I'm a hobby writer who have two cats :) I love cozy style, calm music but I write dark fantasy. I didn't finish it on time (I discovered this competition 4 days ago!) but I have a solid plan how to continue. So you inspired me! I imagined this sweet cat bringing ordinary objects to a blocked writer, and those items slowly becoming the raw material for her novel. Then, we mix the superficial warmth of a cozy, rain-lit apartment with the tension of a slow-burn mystery. Each person there has a life and a story, crawing this melancholic hole in you... The horror comes not from gore (which I hate), but from realizing that something comforting has been constructed to hide something truly truly awful. At its core, the game is about life. About people. And observation, art, those quiet ways that love, small acts of care can change someones life.
