JPEG

JPEG is a short, first-person narrative walking game designed to take 15–20 minutes. You live through a series of identical days inside the same apartment, waking up, following prompts and going through your usual routine. Footsteps echo through the empty rooms as reminders guide you along a familiar path, but it is unclear whether the apartment is truly empty.

The repeating days

The story progresses linearly as the protagonist gradually descends into madness. Each day resembles the last, yet the apartment changes: details appear that were not there before, and the world around you seems to have a life of its own. The game leaves open whether these changes come from fatigue or whether someone else is there.

Your routine includes taking pills, calling Dad and going to the bathroom. Realistic footsteps add to the silence of being alone. The game saves automatically between in-game days and can be paused at any time.

The ending

Eventually, the routine is interrupted, and the screen slowly fades to black.
