'You're a fire in the dumpster of those born dead.'

Mark's Keys is a short, visceral visual novel following a rough morning for the irregular wolf named Mark; a stern security worker with a lot going on. Fight the currents to find your keys, get to work and pummel through your day, and try to ignore anything festering within.

The read time is roughly an hour. Controls are click or space to progress dialogue, and ESC for the menu.

---------------------------------------

MK's themes are dissociation, avoidance, and existentialism. The plot itself tries to expand on these themes, and fails. The result of this collapse is in the details.

CW for flashing lights, language, blood/injury detail and heavy/dark themes. Recommended 16+

----------------------------------------

Most of the things in this visual novel are up for interpretation, but if you want to learn more about Mark and my development of this VN (or just support a small artist), consider giving £3 or more for the gold edition.
