Sister Ray

Sister Ray is a survival RPG about Ray, an artist struggling with addiction while caring for her little sister. You manage Ray’s condition, try to keep her addiction hidden and find ways to cope with increasingly severe withdrawal. You must survive and look for a way out.

A day in the city

You choose how to spend each day, with survival and avoiding detection as your conditions. Explore the streets and visit places such as the school, bar, park and police station. Every action advances the time of day, so you need to plan around important events.

Ray can sketch around the city or draw at home to improve her skills and unlock abilities, with the possibility of reaching an exhibition. Her younger sister is the only person close to her, and Ray must keep her addiction secret: her habits could become an example for the girl. Relationships with other people are fragile, and you need to take care not to lose friends.

Managing Ray’s condition

The game tracks four aspects of Ray’s condition:

• Health: Ray’s health can be affected by events such as fleeing the police or being poisoned by an unknown substance, and can leave her close to death.
• Appearance: Ray’s looks affect how others treat her; an attractive appearance can open doors.
• Composure: Losing self-control can turn Ray’s body and mind against her. Her actions may become a struggle against herself, or she can give in to her emotions and instincts.
• Withdrawal: Withdrawal grows more intense with each passing hour, eventually overshadowing other parts of Ray’s life and bringing down her other stats.

Finding money

You can earn cash by selling paintings, taking part-time work, speculating or pickpocketing. How you spend the money is up to you.
