ENDLESS SCROLL

Play:

Full screen Touch: Swipe to advance dialogue and move; when a choice appears, swipe up/down to select and swipe right to confirm - confirmed genuinely working via a real touch swipe that advanced past the title into a real dialogue screen, matching the identical scene reached by keyboard input on desktop · Keyboard: Use the arrow keys to advance dialogue and move; when a choice appears, press up/down to select and right to confirm - confirmed genuinely working via real dispatched key presses that moved a real on-screen selection cursor between two dialogue options and confirmed the choice, advancing into a new scene

About:

A distinctive small narrative game by Cecile Richard (haraiva) built in Bitsy: a playful retro-computer-window title sequence gives way to a genuine dialogue-choice narrative with striking, atmospheric dithered landscape art. Confirmed genuinely functional on both platforms - a real on-screen selection cursor was confirmed moving between dialogue options in response to directional input, with a further press confirming the choice and advancing into a new scene, verified via direct screenshot comparison on both desktop and phone.

Credits:

Made by A distinctive Bitsy narrative with a real dialogue-choice mechanic, 2019. Published here with credit to its author, who stated no licence for it. Source code.

Phone check: 2026-09-09: confirmed the game's own "use arrow keys" instruction is literal - Enter and mouse clicks did not advance the title, but real arrow-key presses did, and were further confirmed moving a real on-screen dialogue-choice cursor between two options before confirming a selection and advancing into a new scene. On phone, a real touch swipe (not a stationary tap) reached the identical dialogue screen. Install includes three bundled itch.io CDN-fetched audio files (music, noise, ending) totaling about 17MB. No third-party analytics found; no restrictive third-party asset licence found for the audio.

No licence stated. A distinctive Bitsy narrative with a real dialogue-choice mechanic published this game without saying how it may be reused, so it is hosted here on the strength of credit alone: their name, a link to their own release, and nothing altered but what it took to run. If you are the author and would rather it were not here, get in touch and it comes down the same day.
