Erase. Or draw.

You are an Agent of Harmony, Third Class. Your job is erasing.

Every morning, the Bureau sends you out with a roller and a bucket of regulation grey. Someone in this city still paints at night: a bird, a hopscotch, a sun. By noon, it's gone. Roller, grey, and forget it. You're good at your job.

Then one morning, a sun appears at the end of your alley, on the very wall where, before the grey, your father used to paint shop signs. He was taken away on a Tuesday, twenty years ago. Nobody has seen him since.

UNTITLED is a three-hour narrative game about a man who erases colour for a living, in a fictional city ruled by a smiling Guide. Twelve days. A festival approaching, when the whole country will salute at the same second. And every evening, the same question: what will you do with your hands?

• Erase the walls, or don't. Hold the roller a little too long and your hand hesitates. Walk away, and a corner of colour stays on the wall. Nobody looks at corners. Almost nobody.
• Draw for real, with your mouse. At night, in the alley, on the grey. The game keeps every drawing you make: they come back into the city, in daylight. Someone is watching them.
• Choose who you protect. A neighbour who writes everything down. A little girl with a stick of blue chalk. A woman who sings songs about the sea. A hideout full of colour under the old washhouse. Every choice comes back, in person.
• Live with the consequences. The city slowly regains its colours, or doesn't. The people you met carry on, or don't. Nobody tells you what's right.
• The last day carries your computer's real date.

FRENCH DESCRIPTION :

Effacer. Ou dessiner.

Tu es agent d'Harmonie de 3e classe. Ton métier : effacer.

Chaque matin, le Bureau t'envoie recouvrir de gris les dessins que quelqu'un, la nuit, ose encore peindre sur les murs de la ville. Un oiseau. Une marelle. Un soleil. Rouleau, gris, et on oublie. Tu es bon dans ton métier.

Puis un matin, un soleil apparaît au fond de la ruelle. Sur le mur où, avant le gris, ton père peignait les enseignes.

UNTITLED est un jeu narratif en 3D, d'environ trois heures, dans une ville fictive gouvernée par le Guide Albe. Douze journées. Une Fête qui approche. Et chaque soir, la même question : qu'est-ce que tu fais de tes mains ?

- Efface les murs, ou laisse un coin de couleur quand personne ne regarde. Les coins restent.

- Dessine vraiment, à la souris, la nuit, sur les murs. Le jeu garde tes dessins : ils reviennent dans la ville. Et quelqu'un les regarde.

- Chaque choix laisse une trace: sur les gens que tu croises, sur la ville, sur toi. Personne ne te dit ce qui est bien.

- Le dernier jour porte la vraie date de ton ordinateur.

Mets un casque.

Le jeu est en cours de développement : tes retours (commentaires en bas de la page) aident vraiment.
