Among Thorns

Description

Is a compact point-and-click adventure crafted by Matt Frith, born from a 1-month challenge in the AGS forums. Set in a dystopian world plagued by technological decay, players guide Cora Bry through tense decisions and survival scenarios. The game blends intuitive controls—left-click to interact, right-click to inspect items—with a dynamic inventory system that highlights active objects via a red cursor. Designed for simplicity, it emphasizes narrative depth over complexity, relying on atmospheric visuals and a gripping storyline. Developed in collaboration with James Spanos (music) and sound engineers Drew Wellman and Arvid Staaf, the experience prioritizes immersion through minimalist yet evocative design. Though originally built for Linux compatibility via Wine, its true charm lies in its ability to deliver a compact, thought-provoking journey. Supporters of indie gaming often cite it as a hidden gem worth revisiting. This project thrives on community feedback, with creators open to funding future expansions. Discover a tale where.
