yeah but only for dead people #whistlegame
lorent is holding a pair of tweezers up to the neck of fossti's decapitated head. the head's thin body sits on the table nearby and reaches out to gently lift lorent's soft chin. a shriveled figure lying in bed, a canopy curtain obscuring all but the top of his face. a sketch of yani sitting naked on a bed. he has his back to the viewer, and is looking out a leaded window. it's bright outside, but the room is dark within.

screenshot from a visual novel with super rough art of yani laying in bed. he's faceless because i haven't drawn any expressions for this scene yet. text reads "if that kid lives into old age, he'll be the lord of nothing and no one." binging with babish thumbnail but his face has been edited out. captioned "Nothing with No One". post by tumblr user paper-mario-wiki

#whistlegame
two sketches of preteen yani. in the first, he's crying and hugging a taller woman, who strokes his hair. in the second, he's sitting on the floor, holding baby ifris.

#whistlegame
three portraits of three characters, all connected by holding onto the same long sheet. the first is a young, long-haired girl in dappled sunlight, holding the sheet delicately. the second is another young girl, crying into the sheet in a dark room. the third is a young boy with bruised knuckles, covering half of his face with the bunched up sheet and staring at the viewer intensely.

let your ship draw each other meme by @txtdarioc. yani draws a beautiful portrait of oysna and thinks "he has a face like a painting, so this is easy". oysna draws a scary portrait of yani and thinks "i...i thought i could do better than this..."

some new #whistlegame gameplay is up on patreon! 🩸

patreon.com/valkwise
screencap of a visual novel. there are two "panels", each of a different man's forearm. both are cut and bleeding near the inner elbow, but one man's blood runs dark and slow. the text reads "yani observed with little reaction, as if an ant were crawling down his forearm."

a layout from our visual novel. in game, the middle portion will fill with text. the middle is an edited photograph of a dark river. the two side panels each contain a character in silhouette. one, a long-haired character bent over and vomiting. the other, a man in glasses sitting with his knees against his chest.

woods and water #whistlegame
