Studio Wife, Cornmandog and Yotsuba Interactive are proud to announce the release of “I Write Games Not Tragedies”. The game is an homage to British emo and goth subcultures, expressed through a unique hand drawn artstyle, original music and a rhythm game to literally scream for. To commemorate its release, the game will be available at a 20% discount for the next two weeks.
“Sometimes I wish all of my pain was fake”
Like most misunderstood misfits, Ash’s secondary school life is not so great. Trapped and isolated by so-called friends and the awful popular kids, his only solace is the loud music playing through his headphones… and maybe a certain beautiful blonde normie – except why does he have to be so nice?!
Players will both adore and cringe over him during his “baby bat” years from 2009, resonate with his anxieties and battles with alcoholism in the 2010s then join him on his quest for the meaning of life as an elder emo in the 2020s. Relish in his humor, encounters with romance and occasional discomfort through a visual novel meets rhythm game experience. True to the punkitude, players will not only be tasked with hitting lyrics to the beat at the right points but literally screaming out their frustrations in order to obtain a high score!
Whether you’re just a kid and life is a nightmare or in your 30s still waiting for Sk8er Boi, Ash’s heartwarming journey of self-discovery will definitely have you in tears of sadness, laughter and embarrassment.
