Ok...drumroll please...
...
...no?

Ok, then.

Absent: Part I - Innocent Until Proven Guilty

Absent is a story which follows the character of young-adult and college student, Murray Schull. He and his two best friends, Eve and Steve, attend a college in which students are disappearing daily. It’s up to them to find out how this is happening, why this is happening, protect their other friends, and to put a stop to it once and for all.

These series of events began when Crystal, a three month girlfriend of Murray’s friend, Steve, disappeared on her way home from college via mysterious means. Over the course of the investigation, however, Murray realises that what stole Steve’s girlfriend was not anything of this earth. Murray is haunted by visions, confronted with puzzles, with friends turning against each other, and all for one reason. The Reaper.

Features
-A three part epic-story released in parts over three months.
-A point/click, easy to use interface.
-Approximately ten NPC's to interact with in this first episode alone.
-A completely original story with original art, music and characters created by...yours truly!

-A game so varied, I flipped a three sided coin to choose it's genre!
-It's completely free!

Here's a couple of screencaps:

And a note...
This series is scheduled for a monthly release for each part, but expect this to vary slightly at times given the potential upcoming busy-ness of my schecule!

Have fun guys! I've been working on this episode, and bits and pieces of the other two, for the majority of the summer, so it feels good to finally have a game out there that I can call mine.

Enjoy!

Good to see it's officially out.

The Gentleman · 09/19/2010, 08:25 am

Holy crap. I'm getting it now.

tabstis · 09/19/2010, 08:29 am

Started playing already

Looking forward to seeing how this one goes...

monkeymovies · 09/19/2010, 08:30 am

It just occurred to me, if you complete this quickly...
...which you might...
...there are two more to come! :P

So don't be too disappointed if you beat it fast.

It's taking a long while to download.

monkeymovies · 09/19/2010, 08:35 am

It's 17MB. O__O
Hmmmm......

I dunno. It's done now.

Wow, this game is nice. Really reminds me of classic adventures.

Secret Fawful · 09/19/2010, 08:58 am

I'm liking it so far. Some of the story is a bit too fast paced and Murray is a little too accepting of his visions but I really like this!

Have you considered hiring voice actors? I think good voice acting would really enhance the game experience.

Maybe not real voice acting, but it would be funny to have a version of the game where Monkey does all the voices.

Also, LOL at The Gentleman's new Title.

monkeymovies · 09/19/2010, 09:03 am

I'm possibly planning to maybe add voices to it when all the episodes are done, and then release it as one whole game.

It's not funny.

Maybe I could do some voice acting?

RingmasterJ5 · 09/19/2010, 09:10 am

I'd do a character, if you need any younger teens(which probably won't happen, but the option's still there).

Secret Fawful · 09/19/2010, 09:17 am

I'd love to play a character in this too; in fact it's why I asked.

I'm around, oh, nineteen, and my voice is in average to high voice range normally. If you need any voices from that range any time in the future, I'd love to apply.

monkeymovies · 09/19/2010, 09:29 am

Hey, thanks for the VA requests, guys! But as I said, this game will not be voiced until at least all of the episodes are out. THEN I may go back and add any enhancemants that are wanted.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the episode, guys!

RingmasterJ5 · 09/19/2010, 02:30 pm

Just beat it. It was good, and I can't wait for the next episode.

If you need a voice actor, count me in
