Futari Gurashi

Futari Gurashi game title screen above its pixelated 3D town
Futari Gurashi · ふたり暮らし

Futari Gurashi (ふたり暮らし) is a game I made for Alana and me. It’s built for two people sharing one screen, with a pixelated 3D world and music that reacts to how you play together.

Chapter 0, A Saturday, is a day around town: fishing, cooking, mini-games, a night drive, and a lantern festival. Chapter 1, The Red Thread, turns that wish lantern into a fantasy adventure, with a knight and mage solving puzzles and fighting side by side.

The soundtrack is synthesized live. Standing close fills out the harmony, holding hands adds another layer, and combat brings in the drums. Play uses a shared keyboard or controllers.
