Sunflower Pie
A downloadable game for Windows
A short story about a parasitic sunflower and her loyal son. Eat everything you can. Enjoy the sunshine. Do whatever it takes to make her happy.
Inspired by early RPGmaker horror games and Adult Swim bumpers, Sunflower Pie is a bite-sized visual novel with extra parasites (for flavor). Much like real life, it oscillates violently between discomfort and sincerity. Unlike real life, however, there is only one correct choice.
Features:
*You can beat this visual novel in 25 minutes
*Oliver’s speech therapist is good at her job and owns a revolver
*Learn about all the cool ways to remove ticks from your body
*Made with love (sincerely)

The visuals were absolutely great and supremely haunting! (Especially the sunflower closeup at the beginning genuinely freaked me out)
Personally I found the ending to be a bit jarring as a comedown from the rest of the presentation and tone of the story. Especially getting no resultion on Violet's status was a bit disappointing, since she was framed as the one character Oliver is accepting of- as she also doesn't presuppose what's best for him- so I'd have loved to see more of her
But I think this is also a prequel to Siren's Call (which I haven't played)? So those constraints might stem from there idk
Overall tho, a really slick, short-and-sweet VN with some good themes about mental illnesses :3
Thank you so much for your thoughts! I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yes, it is a small prequel to Siren's Call, so you're right on the money with that one.
