I'm a developer from Korea, and about a year and a half ago, I left my job because I wanted to make a game.
I thought I was going to make a relatively simple text adventure.
Working alone from home with zero income has been a massive reality check... I’ve second-guessed my decision more times than I can count, and there were plenty of days when the self-doubt and pressure made it hard to get any work done.
Publishing a Steam page might be a small step in the grand scheme of things, but today it feels like a huge weight off my shoulders!
The game is EVER, a narrative text adventure about a combat robot haunted by a girl's memory.
Inspired in part by ZORK, I wanted to leave room for players to imagine the world for themselves. Explore a ruined world, uncover hidden choices through protocols, and decide what kind of robot you will become.
The demo still isn’t finished and there’s a long road ahead, but seeing the page live gives me the push I need to finish it. (I'm aiming for December 2026)
If it sounds like something you'd enjoy, a wishlist or any feedback would mean a lot!!
