Fill in The Way [          ]

"Oh my, how common it is for humans to get lost in the life they’re living. Come, I’ll help you remember a place worth returning to."

Why, hello there! Do you ever feel burdened by navigation applications, deciding to brew up trouble right when you're headed home after a long day? Might I recommend you try Fill In The Way [           ]! Led by a spiffy (and handsome) chap, it is guaranteed to lead you there on a much more... scenic and original... route than other methods on the market. We even throw a little self discovery in as a bonus! 

Those who've given Fill in The Way [           ] a shot have said: 

"A truly unique experience. I came in expecting a silly visual novel, and I left ready to move on from the problems I'd been writing out of my life."

"Give this a like to keep sharky flopping till the very end of time."

"Dear narrator, I'm genuinely sorry for the damage being my guide must have done to your dignity."

[Features]

• Explore a branching tale, written by you! In a style nostalgic of Mad Libs, you must experience a path of your own design to make it back home. With your British guide, be prepared to pick up some cooky characters (including a pirate) and be put into the most unusual circumstances (like saving someone from sigh-gyrating... Don't ask). 
  • While building the journey is fun for anyone, this story is written especially for those who feel or have ever felt that they lack a place worthy of the word "home".
• Collect decor from your travels to fill your [Home]. While your house might start out a little bare, both literally and in your memory, you can find plenty of cute items to fill it with!
• Find the unlockable true ending. (Hint: You've returned to a home that's filled with all the decorations found during your adventures, so why did you try to play again??)
• Original writing, art, voice acting, and compositions.
• If you are Emily or Julie (our game jam hosts), we highly encourage that you enter your real name when playing......totally for no reason at all.......
