🧟 MonoChrome Game Jam Entry – “Analog Horror OS Maker”

Create an endless stream of horror OS moments - if only time hadn’t run out. This Unity editor tool lets you build an interactive, spooky OS - like experience: messages, fake files, pop‑ups, sound glitches, audio clips-your modular horror playground. Intended as an "endless" platform to power multiple mini-stories, this jam build showcases the core messenger system with unlockable conversations and event triggers.

🚧 Current Jam Build

• Fully functional messenger system — send, receive, unlock conversations.

• UI and backend for fake files (text, images, audio).

• Built-in custom event system: attach pop-ups, glitch visuals, sound, or interactive behavior to messages/files.

• Work-in-progress: file handling and event triggers are half-implemented—plenty of polish left, but the vision is clear!

✅ Got Done

• Dynamic adding/deleting/modifying OS messages.

• Modular messenger dialogues with unlock mechanics for new threads.

• A hook for any horror event—you can already attach audio, pop-ups, or glitch effects.

🎯 Jam Goal & What's Missing

• Aim: Fully featured tool to build infinite OS-based horror micro-games.

• Missing: File-based interactions, final event wiring, polished UI, full demo path.

• Deadline hit before finishing—but the foundation is strong.

🔍 Looking Forward

• I'm very close to a complete release—planning to finalize file interactions and event handlers post-jam.

• Leaving this build up to show the core mechanic and engineering approach.

• Expect updates soon (messenger + file integration live, packaged for easy OS-style game creation).

• Ideal for silent solo play—best experience with headphones.

🎮 If You Like This…

I originally planned to use this system as the backbone of a modular horror OS engine—stay tuned, because once file + event systems finish, it’ll be easy to plug in and publish endless micro-horror stories powered by this framework.

Let me know if you want help with tone tweaks or a snappier tagline—it already punches through the messaging and sets expectations. Good luck with the jam!
