Short description
In a surreal audition purgatory, how long will you wait to be chosen?
About this game
Welcome to the definitive surreal audition purgatory experience! The outside world is a cold, harsh place. That's why you came here. The cavern provides you with a minimum of shelter and - more importantly - the hope that you will one day be chosen to receive a place by the enormous fire hidden away in the dark depths below . To be chosen, you will have to impress the inscrutable hooded figures that rule this place, but that is much easier said than done. Nobody has ever seen the Hoods react to an audition before - positively or negatively, or at all, and their Shadow servants never give anything away either. And yet, there's always a chance . So long as you can outwait your competition . Thank You for Your Time is a visual novella that I made with Ren’Py as a solo dev. It’s a surreal parable where you make choices as a violinist stuck in an audition purgatory and ultimately answer a difficult question: how long will you wait for your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? The player will have to decide the answer that's right for themselves. I hope this game will be cathartic for anyone who has had to go for an audition or a job interview, or who has just felt stuck - so, most people. Play duration is about 40 minutes to an hour. The game features a final choice that leads to two different endings, as well as a few smaller choices along the way that also impact the story. All of the images in this game are AI generated. The story and narrative design are my own. This is a passion project that cost me nothing to create. It should cost you nothing to play. That said - the best ways to support me are to share this game with someone who might like it or to review it! I want to grow as a game designer and storyteller, so it would be invaluable to know what worked for you and what didn't. Created by Alex Laney with Ren'Py Game Tester / Best Girl: Lena Böse
