Puzzle your way through abstract conversations in order to increase your Social Energy while embracing your introversion.

AVAILABLE on ITCH.IO
 

Social Caterpillar is a diorama that elaborates on thoughts and feelings about introversion and socializing. Each piece is some wildly personal and heavily abstracted metaphor for interacting and progressing through... well, people.
 

Be an introvert stepping outside his/her bubble. For curiosity? For love? To ace that big speech on insects? The reason's... not so important. But it's worth a shot.

​

• Engage 15-ish unique context-sensitive puzzles

• Press forward through doors despite a rather unhelpful Inner Voice

• Spend Social Energy, then regain some by relaxing at home, alone, just for a moment

• Push and poke around areas to find Secret Rooms and Puzzles

• Be sure to pet a caterpillar if you see one!

This is a short, simple game that expresses the nuances of social interactions through bite-sized puzzles. There is very little text and most of the story is implied rather than explained. It's designed to evoke some neat thoughts while also looking kind of pretty and feeling kind of new. Also, caterpillars.
