A downloadable game

The perfect game is a working Gameboy game that can be played on real hardware, including retro handhelds like the ones from Anbernic, Analogue Pocket or Retroid pocket, as well as through any Gameboy emulator for Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, etc.  

In The Perfect Bay, you step into the shoes of a nameless local caught in a deceptively peaceful routine: wake up, fish, feed Pechocho. Watch baby turtles break through the sand. Exchange warm "good mornings" with neighbors who have called this coastline home for generations.

Then a smiling CEO steps off a cruise ship.

This isn't a distant dystopia. It is a snapshot of our present reality. From the Gulf of California to coastlines across the globe, untouched bays are drained dry to build holiday palaces for the ultra-wealthy. 

Designed as a thought-provoking submission for the Vampire Horror Jam 3D Vol 2, The Perfect Bay channels its horror through metaphor, because the most terrifying monsters don't have fangs. They have business cards.

Featuring Pechocho, a real Dolphin which home is about to be destroyed irl.
