About this game
In February of 2019, my best friend Charlie took his own life.
In the months preceeding his death, the two of us had begun working on a game together, but due to unforseen circumstances the game had to be shelved. Through all of this, Charlie was insistent that "if anything bad ever happens to one of us, the other has to finish it."
In his memory, I think it's time to finish that game.
Profits from The Drowning Machine will be donated to a Trans Lifeline in Charlie's honor
More catharsis than game, The Drowning Machine journals the days following the untimely death of a best friend.
