Backyard Zoo | Wishlist Mayfly on Steam

Solo indie game dev Currently working on my first game ‘Mayfly’, a story-rich psychological horror set aboard a narrowboat in Northern England. Wishlist now on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4057470/Mayfly Lancashire, UK

I'm really excited for this one - quiet psychological horror on a narrow boat in Northern England is such a unique concept, and the game is simply beautiful and brimming with atmosphere. If you haven't checked out Mayfly yet I'd very much recommend trying out the demo and wishlisting!

I had an incredible ammount of fun exploring! I am very honored to be a part of the development. Even if its just a tiny bit of a11y imput I’ve given. The game is incredibly detailed and looks amazing. Chat & I had a blast figuring it all out. Thank you. 😍

I had so much fun watching this - not an inch of that narrowboat left unexplored 🫶 Thank you @mustlovedon.bsky.social Just a few small a11y improvements to be made for the next version bump, delighted with that!

Tonight @ 7pm EU (6pm UK) I’ll be live playing the new #MayFly demo. I’m not good at video games and I’ll be seeing this demo for the first time. So hopefully I’ll do @backyardzoo.bsky.social game the justice it deserves. More content, extra puzzles and retro vibes. C U there! twitch.tv/mustlovedon

Escape room + Silent Hill + scenic British canal = Mayfly There's a good amount here for a demo, the atmosphere is suitably creepy and mysterious and there are some nice touches in the environment. Give it a run
