Perseids, or, All This Will Go On Forever
Made for Trans Gal Jam 2.
Four trans girlfriends go on a road trip to a dark sky park, to see the perseid meteor shower. A 6.5k-long twine* story, with small branches but a single ending. There's very little conflict, drama, no-one dies. Just a good time.
Features a 5-song soundtrack also available here, with the in-game versions lovingly destroyed filtered as though they sound like they're playing through a blown speaker whilst you're driving through the countryside.
Shown at AdventureX 2018 and Melbourne Queer Games Festival.
Has a small sequel in SLASHER, Interrupted.
Content Information

i first played this game four years ago, as an egg. i left a five star review saying "Perfect. Made me feel exactly how I came in wanting to feel."
now, four years later, i've started hrt and gone on a roadtrip with my girlfriend. this hits all the harder for it. if i could bump that rating up further, i would.
thanks. for one little, illuminating story that pointed me in the direction of how i wanted to feel. it's all i wished and more and i hope with all my heart that all of it will, in fact, go on forever.
I enjoy the mandatory smoking and also this game overall, that was pretty cool. I felt "scrawny, stoner non-abdomen" in my very soul
Edit: did some more playthroughs, hurts my heart not making out with Rosie :/
A little moment, where we can be ourselves.
A cute slice-of-life story.
Thank you for making this IF and for chosing this end. That's a perfect end
0/10, I hate that it ends. I love all 4 of these trans gfs so much.
I really wish you could decline the joint...
hi im crying now, thanks for this <3
That was really good. We didn't expect it to end there - caught us out of nowhere in the best way.
We like slice-of-life stories too, and part of why is the why you mentioned.
Wow, I know I'm late to the party, but this was great. I almost teared up at one point (talking about wishes). Brilliant work.
Such a cute game! It captures so much of what makes the magic of car trips what it is, and left a hopeful feeling in my heart.
I really love this game. I could play it a thousand times and i wouldn't be bored :)
love the writing, the characterization was ~~immaculate. I feel like some stories are easier to imagine and become invested in and your writing definitely has that quality <33 also i want a flirty friend group to go on a road trip with :')
is it possible to lose at rock paper sciccors?
Nope, the choices are for flavour
This is really great! Thank you for making it, the ending message was particularly touching :)
I love this
I really enjoyed the story. Initially I named myself Rose, which was kinda confusing, haha. Really nice music as well!!
omg i think i died of sweetness!!! THIS IS SO CUTE AND uh PURE!!! got me all wistful and just feeling warm <3
I really enjoyed this, it really made me pine for a fun trip with good friends. For some reason I didn't have any music though? I didnt realize there was meant to be any until the credits rolled :(
huh, weird. At least you enjoyed it even without music :) Can I ask what browser you were using?
I downloaded it and played via the itch.io client.
such a charming game!! i loved it so much. thank you for making this 💕
thank you for putting on the jam! ✨
This is so sweet, and really captures the feeling of a summer road trip with friends - well, maybe with more cute flirting in it.
hehe thank you 💖 I guess the amount of flirting depends on which friends you go with!
To clarify - your game had more flirting in it!
this is really cute and sweet!! i love it!!!
thank you!! <3
omg this was so cool!! even though it was just text , I imagined it all in my head and it was awesome
thank you! that's the power of your imagination ✨
I wish you could've seen me, giggling like a idiot and burying my face in my hands as I played this. ❤❤❤
heh heh that's the reaction i was going for 💖
You have a bug in the game,. it's not something game breaking but she just letting you know!
woops. thanks for that - have fixed it now!
