Bubble

Introduction

Bubble is an indie game inspired by the music video あぶく (Abuku) - ヨルシカ (Yorushika). The title Bubble is the English translation of Abuku, which means a fleeting bubble that appears and disappears.

The game follows the story of a person trapped inside a mysterious room, repeatedly murdered and forced to relive the same cycle. As the player, your goal is to explore every possible option, uncover the truth behind the loop, and find a way to escape.

Since the game draws significant inspiration from Yorushika's original music video, players are encouraged to watch the MV for a deeper understanding of the story and its themes.

This game was created as an academic project for educational purposes only. It is a non-commercial work and is distributed free of charge on itch.io.
