An intro to Deadnettle Games!

Hello all, I'm Alex (@deadnettled)! I make story-driven games, which you can find on my itch.io page. I primarily work with Twine, but have been doing some visual novel development in Ren'Py that I'm really excited about.

Here's a quick primer on some of the things I've made so far:

Just Cosplay*

This game is the first one I ever released, and was in the 2022 Queer Games Bundle! It's about being a transmasc teenager in 2012 and discovering your gender through Homestuck Apartment Trapped! cosplay. As a "choices matter" game, there are two different endings you can get depending on the actions you take in gameplay. This game was heavily based on my personal experiences, including 2012 Tumblr, so if you were there at the time or would like to know what it was like... here you go!

Generate-a-Date*

This game was made in 72 hours for Mini Jam #105 ("Dreamy"). It's a speed dating sim, and takes the player through a process of dating a randomly generated person. As you can imagine for the premise, there are many, many different ways that this game can go, and there are five possible endings. It's incredibly silly, incredibly short, and something I love to return to from time to time when I want to make myself laugh because it was so fun to make.

*These games can be played in a mobile web browser!
