Sweet Melancholia - Vertical Slice

🌸 Sweet Melancholia Some things are meant to be mended. Others are meant to be let go. Sweet Melancholia is a narrative-driven adventure currently in development, built around the idea of learning when to hold on — and when to let go. Explore a dreamy, fragmented world and interact with it through two complementary abilities: Stitch and Cut. 🧵 Stitch & Cut Stitch allows you to create connections within the world. Pull yourself toward distant Stitch Points or connect parts of the environment to move them and create new paths. Cut lets you break those connections, returning previously moved elements to their original state. Together, these mechanics form the foundation for traversal, environmental puzzles and the emotional themes of the game. 🎮 Controls Move WASD Jump Space Stitch Mode Hold E Select Stitch Point Left Mouse Button Cut Mode Q Cut Connection Left Mouse Button Stitching yourself Hold E, aim toward a Stitch Point and click it.
