BlueSuburbia is interactive poetry and literature. It is a haunted dreamscape where you explore poems through immersive environments. Wander through the world of poetry, seek out dark secrets, confront your demons, and delve deeper into a dream that dances between beautiful and terrible. Forgotten dreamscapes and open worlds are yours to explore as you venture on your quest to find hope in the darkness. BlueSuburbia is about struggle, survival, tenacity, strength, and hope... along with a healthy dose of existentialism. It is a commentary on strength and persistence despite the world trying to destroy you... the light you feel inside that does not let you give up, even when the world around you is at its darkest. It is a beautiful horror. Features include large open worlds to explore, with poetry and writing that you uncover in these haunted spaces. It is immersive literature. This is a reboot of the 1999 cult classic Flash website. It is currently under production. Regular updates to the demo will be released until it is finished.

Press reviews: “It's exciting and chilling all at the same time, as you never really know what you'll stumble across next. Walking through doors, clicking on words or otherwise discovering a new area initiates a short scene interspersed with text. They're all different, they're all a little breathtaking, and they're completely fascinating to watch.” Jay Is Games “It’s a mystifying, confusing, stunning and captivating game that does a great job of taking short form writing and placing it in environments that really elevate the experience. A powerful and poignant poetic experience well worth diving into.” Alpha Beta Gamer “BlueSuburbia takes you to a place that is filled with a lonely kind of menace – an oppressive fear that crushes you as it tells you that no one will come save you.” Indie Games Plus 

Notes: There is insinuation of violence and described violence in writing. This is a horror. Some of the themes will be unsettling and describing physical harm.
