ephemera of evalynn cott
a submission for "forge jam IX"
pitch:
it's 30,000 years into the future and as far as art school is concerned, the more things change, the more things stay the same. you take on the role of evalynn cott, a creative twenty-something with severe motivational problems; the end of the semester has rolled around and wouldn't you know it, you're late on turning in a few things! how long will it take you to muster up the courage to send off those dreaded "so sorry, but a few things came up - here you go!" type of emails?
this is a story about trying to maintain your mental health and as such - has the potential to get dark in spots. be advised before playing.

Can we get an exe?
Not ideal, but you can download web versions of games through both official and unofficial Itchio launchers.
How do i do that through the Itch.io launcher?
Using the Kitch variant of the launcher, but it should work similar to the Itch one:
Open whichever page from the launcher:
In the address bar, put the link of the game to be downloaded and press Enter:
Beneath, you should get an Install button; click it:
Choose the build (if different ones are available) and install location as desired, and confirm it:
Once installed, to go to the downloaded files, you can either manually go to the install directory, or click the cog wheel in the bottom right, then “Manage”, then “Open folder in explorer”:
Of the game files, the executable is the “index.html” one, and it runs on browsers:
And lastly, sorry if I made it longer than it should, but I didn’t know how familiar you are with the launcher overall.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. It's very much appreciated.
Oh I stumbled upon this game right after spending 32 hours awake trying to do the assignments for art school that i didn't do when i had to lol
are there controls other than the arrow buttons? i got stuck. not sure if something is supposed to happen in the sculpture room but i've run out of pink things to interact with. instructions unclear Q_Q
arrow buttons are the only controls for the game! and i'll give you a hint, if you've ran out things to interact with, return to your dorm. hope it helps a little :3
that's the one thing i haven't tried, thank you!!
That was fun and relatable. Being an art school dropout I 100% understand what it's like. Good work!
super glad you enjoyed it! thanks so much for the kind words
heya rly liked the game, thank u!

Going through something like that right now. Take care
