O'ermorrow

About

O'ermorrow is a short dark fantasy visual novel where choices shape a romance between a fallen undead scholar and the mage tasked with documenting his forbidden research. You navigate tense dialogue exchanges and cryptic lore as Shavil, once a revered academic now cursed with undeath, reveals secrets he shouldn't still remember. The story splits into two distinct endings based on how you balance his need for redemption against your growing connection. Sparse but pointed writing keeps the 1000-word limit from feeling restrictive. Made in 10 days for a micro-jam with strict asset rules, the game uses minimalist art and moody palettes to emphasize its somber tone. Despite its brevity, the romance feels earned through recurring dialogue options that test your trust in Shavil's motives. Community ratings on Steam average 8.5/10 with 92% positive reviews. The jam's constraints actually sharpen the experience, every line of text and pixel of art serves the core mystery of what Shavil isn't telling you.
