1days

1days is a pixel-art narrative adventure about Minsu, a high school student trying to deliver a letter to the girl he likes. Before he can do that, he needs to find the missing Book Club key, while requests and rumors at school keep diverting him. The story follows one connected journey from morning to the end of the day, and takes an estimated 8–10 hours to complete, depending on your pace and how much you explore.

Explore and investigate

You explore Minsu’s home, neighborhood and school, examining objects and talking to people to gather items, notes and information. Find keys for locked doors, or work out how to distract someone guarding a place you need to investigate. You can make or hand over items, then use what you have learned in later conversations to make progress.

Your diary tracks the clues you collect throughout the day. You can revisit your quests, map, items and notes to work out what information you need and where to go next.

Follow the stories

As you help friends, older students and people around town with their requests, you also follow rumors and become involved in other people’s lives. Passing remarks and ordinary objects can take on new meaning later, as hidden feelings and relationships come to light.

In some sections, you can visit several locations and choose the order in which to tackle events. The rest of the story follows a connected journey through the day.

Visit the neighborhood

Explore classrooms, clubrooms, streets and shops in isometric pixel art. The setting shifts from clear morning to rain and sunset, changing the atmosphere of familiar places. Along the way, you can sneak out of a classroom without being noticed by teachers or students, chase cats and play arcade games.
