Nothing Somewhere
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
A story about art, what goes into being a human, and not feeling like a part of that. The lines that divide and define what "being" means are no longer existent, but were they ever there to begin with?
A non-binary visual novel talking about what it means to be neither here nor there- in more merits than one.
Music was made in a collaborative effort by all members, with special thanks to Thorjn for their audio design help.

art about art and existing. yeah you've really nailed it. im glad the two guys can create together now. thank you for sharing this
Thank you! Really glad you've enjoyed it. There are few things quite like collaborative creation.
first off, I would Love to know more about the real life models of the protagonists used in those pictures because wow they are charming. the background work is phenomenally done, too... all in all very visually cohesive and beautifully done. My single gripe definitely lays with how hard it was to read the text sometimes ^^' It wasn't an issue when the backdrop was black, but the red/blue outlines unfortunately made it a bit of a strain to read a 1px handwritten font (by the way, the custom UI and the font itself is so charming). Anyways, the dialogue here was so nice. The humor and the existentialism went hand in hand, and their banter felt natural and engaging to sit through. This was definitely one of the most emotional VNcup entries I have played through thus far - there was nothing too dramatic, but something about the character writing was resonative and struck some chords with me. Everything just tied in so well with the themes of the game. amazing job!!
Thank you so much! That's a lot of high praise, the team is really happy you enjoyed it. Uniow is responsible for the models, he's flattered to hear that.
you all did insanely good with this one... the character designs and backgrounds are really fun and interesting. such a unique mood. i like how unique but similar the two characters are in their perspectives. their voices are really distinct and i enjoyed reading their journey together.
Thank you! We're really glad you enjoyed it.
i really enjoyed this one. the relationship between the characters feels perfectly comforting yet stressful at the same time, in a very familiar way.... the visuals and sounds go so perfectly together, too. i loved seeing all the interactions and pauses; especially the sillier ones. great job :-)
Thank you! The team is really happy you enjoyed it.
