About This Game

JOIN THE PARTY

Home to abandoned buildings, bowling alleys stuck in time, and overflowing thrift stores downtown, Pine Hill is a quiet Midwestern college town. Quiet enough that nobody seemed to hear Ginny Nicholson die. The fine arts students at Pine Grove University felt it the most, but, to you, that isn't enough. You want to know why.

At Halloween party turned night of awkward conversation and mournful drinking, Alex searches for answers in the memories of Ginny's friends, unraveling things about themselves, their hometown, and Ginny that they never knew.

A Week Before Autumn is an interactive narrative game about grief, queerness, and rediscovering the people and places we call home. Featuring a cast of 15 queer characters with hundreds of lines of dialogue to explore, choose your path to uncover more about Ginny and her friends. Make your way through 70 locations across Pine Hill and find a little something to do, whether it be skateboard racing, baking, or recording an indie film. Hop through the memoires of Ginny's friends and collect photos and trinkets to remember not just her, but what she did for you.

After all, you were her friend too. The memories of others can only distract you from the pain of your own for so long.
