Your Warm Jacket

Your Warm Jacket is a game that’s about loneliness and isolation in a cold climate, where the player’s only companion is a cat that lives in their house. This game, while innocent at first, harbors some strange elements that will give the player a sense of unease and things not being right. As a result, the game may feel more like a scary horror experience. This would come from the town being empty aside from one specific individual that you find later that may clue you in to what happens next. 

Why should the player feel uneasy?: Because the town is empty, without a known reason. Emptiness and towns being abandoned rarely happens without reason and the player will grow to know why. 

What tells the player that the game isn’t right?: It comes in one particular building where they enter and read a line of dialogue that tells them a bit about the history of the building they’re going into. And how that doesn’t line up with what’s going on right now. 

What else tells them that the game isn't right?: There's a secret to be discovered that reveals the nature of the events that take place in the game. While it isn't too difficult to find it still offers a sense of dread from finding it.
