Nonplace (Vertical Slice)
A downloadable game for Windows
You find yourself in the Nonplace.
A twisted regurgitation of the real world, tucked between time. There are no laws of science here. No Devil. No God.
Document what you can. Every choice you make leads to a different outcome. Some are obvious, others buried.
The deeper you explore, the more you’ll question reality itself. The line between observer and subject will blur.
You were never meant to be here.

Thank you! I really enjoyed it great work! I will keep my eye out for the demo
Included this in my 3 random horror game video!
For what this was and for being made for a gamejam, this was not too shabby at all! I got mega confused trying to solve the puzzles but that is not really on the game but me lol. Really I quite enjoyed this indeed! Made a video on it.

Thank you again for playing!
I loveddddd the game! When I play something new, I like to go into it completely clueless and try to figure out the story myself, so I ended up giving it a COMPLETELY different meaning form the actual summary. My bad for that lol. I loved the atmosphere, loved the setting, loved how unsettling it is, etc etc. Overall, great game!! :D
Hey Namustar!
First of all, your playthrough has to be the most hilariously entertaining one we’ve watched so far, we died laughing when you got jumpscared, the reasons behind all your answers had us on the floor. Love the meaning you gave to the game too.
We’ll be featuring your playthrough on our page, please stay tuned for the full release, it will be on Steam soon and we’re mega-excited to see you play it.
Much love, The Dead Petal Team
REALLY cool game with immaculate vibes! Definitely kept me on edge but i really liked how there was kind of a subtle humor to all of the horror stuff... shout out to the cashier crying in the corner after i told her she was FAKE. That's just how it is working customer service, I really feel for her.
I played it on stream here at around 2:37:00 but fair WARNING I ended up struggling with the puzzle so it might be a frustrating watch LOL (thanks for putting the playthroughs on the page it made it easy to cheat <3 )
Hey Cinnature!
Thank you so much for playing Nonplace, we really appreciate it! 😄 And haha, point taken about the puzzle, we’ll definitely be incorporating your feedback into future updates.
The full version is coming to Steam very soon, and we’re genuinely excited to see you play it again!
P.S. About that little bug at the beginning, totally not your machine. We tracked it down and fixed it in Version 10, which is now live!
Thanks again for taking the time to explore our world.
Nonplace reminded me of some Kafka-esque lovechild of David Lynch and Salvador Dali - do we know why we're in the nonplace? No. Will we get answers in the nonplace? Also, no. But what we do get is an unnerving feeling that we're not alone, and that we're constantly being watched.
Very intrigued as to where this is going, and would love to explore more of this world.Until then, you'll just need to watch this vertical slice. If you're hungry there's some macarons and hearts to eat.
Thank you so much, we’re beyond honored that Nonplace gave you that kind of surreal, uneasy vibe. That’s exactly the tone we were aiming for.
And you’re the first person to notice the speaker playing music, we cheered when you noticed it! Your playthrough was extremely entertaining to watch, we will be featuring it on our main page! Thanks again for sharing it with others, and we can’t wait to show you more soon 🖤
really Loved this game, the atmosphere was fantastic, so bizarre, interesting and creepy, I really wany more of this. I have just uploaded my playthrough on my channel .
I personally think the Ai works perfectly for games like this, really adds to that uncanny valley Liminal feeling
I also make games featuring cardboard cut out characters:)
Hey Ravenhome, thank you so much for playing Nonplace! We just watched your playthrough and we were grinning the whole time. It seriously made us so happy.
We’re so glad the atmosphere and weird vibes landed for you. That uncanny, liminal feel is exactly what we were going for, and hearing that it worked means everything.
And cardboard cutout characters? We love that. Instant connection. Would love to collab on this for the demo and full release if you’re interested!
Thanks again for sharing your video. We’re going to feature it on our itch page for sure. Can’t wait to bring more Nonplace to life soon.
Amazing first level! The atmosphere is perfect and the choice-based horror is so well done. The smart puzzles and story have me hooked. I was genuinely on edge the whole time, wondering if I was about to see a ghost because of something I did. Instantly wishlisted. Can't wait for the full release!
The execution of the weird and eerie was perfect here, i felt unsettled the whole time like i was being watched
Game concept is quite nice. The environments are also pretty cool!
One thing I will mention, is the puzzles / interactable objects are not choreographed that well.
That, and the use of A.I. disappoints me.
5/10 ( it would be a 7 without AI )
I will be playing this live, tomorrow 7/26 around 5PM EST.
Thank you so much for your support! We are so excited to tune in!
Amazing game! I wish it was longer lol I enjoyed this concept a lot, thanks for taking the time to make the game and share it with us. Here is my playthrough
Hey LonePC, thank you so much for playing Nonplace! We just watched your playthrough and it completely made our day. We were smiling and screaming the whole time.
Your reaction to the atmosphere and vibe meant the world to us. We’re so happy you enjoyed it, and yes, there’s more coming. We’re working on a full demo and expanding the world in the coming months.
We’ll be featuring your video on our itch page as well. Thanks again for taking the time to play and share it with your audience! It truly means everything to us. 🖤
