Three Small Adventures!

Hellooo, everyone! The name's Newy. I'm a magical wish-granting game console. I just looove short stories that linger in your heart!

Short Short Fictions is an omnibus of three retro short adventure games.

The three titles included are the complete ports of DON'T SAY YES and TO:NORTH, short games that gained wide attention on social media, and IMMEMORIAL, a secret new game. All three are painful, toilful, yet beautiful short stories that you can finish within thirty minutes.

Connecting these stories is yet another story for you to play through! It's essentially a whole other game for you to play.

With the new but familiar game console NewWave by your side, enjoy a slightly fantastical short short collection of extraordinary stories!

Play with the NewWave!

That's me!

DON'T SAY YES and TO:NORTH, short games released on itch.io that gained wide attention on social media, have been fully ported to a new engine.

The fictional retro game console NewWave plays games on cassette tapes, so you can feel like you are actually playing the games on their own console. Listen to the rain and waves under the beautiful scenery of the changing weather and immerse yourself into the world of these stories.

Included Works

All the games you can play in this collection are about not being able to do something.

LOST AND FOUND: A story for the sake of the story

A point-and-click adventure game for you to enjoy while you go from one game to another. It functions as a bridge between games.

Newy, a self-proclaimed magical game console, has the power to grant any wish.

The protagonist Sasaki earns one day off through Newy's magic but is trapped at a mysterious beach in exchange. She needs to find a game cassette for Newy in order to leave.

However, the two of them run into a strange fighter ship called Unit-1001NIGHTS. He claims he will assist Sasaki's escape if his own dream is fulfilled. And the extraordinary wish in question...?

The magical game console Newy (that's me!) has the power to grant wishes! And the more games you play, the stronger that magic gets.

Newy

A super handy machine that can play games from cassette tapes.

Sasaki

The protagonist. She got a one-day holiday through magic and is enjoying it to the fullest. She is no good with machines, and today is the first time she's ever played a game.

Unit-1001NIGHTS

A broken fighter ship you meet at the beach. He is troubled by a burning-hot first love. And the target of that love? Well...

You finally have a day off, so you have to play the day away! That's why I've made this magical private beach just for you. There's even a picnic and beach umbrella. Just relax and enjoy the game!

You want to leave the beach? No, you have to stay here. There's nothing out there.

DON'T SAY YES: A game where you can't say yes

A very short text adventure that was highly rated by itch.io players, where you follow just one simple rule for a rich experience.

Year 22xx in the Lunic Calendar.

A spaceship crashed into the moon, and a strange being tries to make a deal with the dying pilot...

Just select YES or NO. A very short game that only takes five minutes to play.

TO:NORTH: An adventure where you just can't go south

A traditional top-down adventure that gained attention on social media for how its story meshed closely with its concept. Available in languages other than Japanese for the first time!

Take me north. Don't look south no matter what.

You play as an AI and take the protagonist to their destination, but you can't go south no matter what. What happens if you look south...?

IMMEMORIAL: A game where you can't XXXXXX XXXXX

A secret new short game created for this collection. Look for it within LOST AND FOUND.

I realized, and so, I had to do it. But exactly did I realize?

This is a new game that even I don't know about yet! I wonder what it's about.
