Pestilife

Story Summary: After falling off their owner’s moving van, the Main Character Mouse (MCM) is flung into a strange and wonderful world on a bustling farm, and now MCM must earn their keep by starting a restaurant. Using ingredients and supplies found around the farm and maybe even inside the farmer’s house, create delicious bite-sized meals for your new neighbors, upgrade and expand your restaurant, decorate your nest, and wear cute tiny clothes.

I originally used “Under the Farmer’s Nose” as the placeholder title, but it was so long and a pain to write over and over. “Pestilife” is a play on pestilence, a fatal epidemic disease, especially the bubonic plague, which has well-known ties to mice, so it fits perfectly! I was still attached to the old title, so I kept it as a subtitle; if I make a sequel, it will still be called Pestilife, and only the subtitle will change.

I animated the title myself.

Below is all concept art, as the game is still in production and everything is subject to change.
