evening breeze, bowl packed, and a sky that doesn’t ask questions.
nothing hits like that golden hour inhale.
just me, my porch, and a little peace disguised as smoke.

Sunset High: Dive into a Time-Loop Mystery
Sunset High is a narrative-driven, 2D, choose your own adventure game coming to Linux, Mac, and Windows PC. Thanks to the creative talents of developer Turnip Games. Due to find its way onto Steam soon. Ready to ditch the grind and jump into a hall-pass fever dream? Sunset High — Turnip Games’ very first release — kicks open its squeaky lockers on July 23 and I’m already late for class. Picture this: yesterday your crush texted a cryptic “meet me behind the gym.” Today they’re straight-up missing, and tomorrow… actually never comes. You’re trapped in a neon-lit, time-looping noir where every wrong turn slaps you back to homeroom with fresh bruises to your ego. But hold up, Sunset High isn’t some passive visual-novel snoozefest. It's a brilliant narrative-driven, 2D, choose your own adventure.
The gameplay lets you own the nightmare:
Every choice matters, every choice rewinds. Flirt with the theater kid, snub the jocks, or join the chess-club rebels. Then yank the timeline backward to see how badly (or brilliantly) things could’ve gone Sunset High.
Level up your inner detectives. Four archetypes—Thinker, Charmer, Sneak, and Bruiser. The grow the more you lean into them, while unlocking spicy dialog options and alternate routes.
Hostile game design that stares you down. Menus glitch, NPCs break the fourth wall, and sometimes the save icon straight-up mocks you. Anxious yet? Good.
Clique chaos. The Sunset High social ladder is greased lightning: nerds, goths, influencers, and metal-heads. All due to fight for the top rung, and you’ll need alliances before the final bell rings.
Sunset High Release Trailer
Turnip swears by “ludonarrative time-loop noir,” but let’s keep it real: it’s Groundhog Day meets Persona, dipped in Hotline Miami synth sauce. The art pops with VHS bloom, the soundtrack pulses like late-night arcade speakers, and the writing? Equal parts teen drama and Twin Peaks. The whole vibe screams “one more run” at 3 a.m.—exactly the kind of addiction pro players (yeah, that’s us) pretend we can quit. Good news for the tux-wearing crowd: Sunset High ships day-one on Steam for Linux. Proton heads, you’re golden; rumor says Turnip has been testing on Steam Deck and Fedora alike. Minimum specs are kind—you won’t need a GPU the size of your PSU—but the devs recommend an SSD because, well, loops load fast. Let’s talk price: $12.99 USD / £9.99 / 10,79€ (or your local equivalent). For the first week, Turnip’s tossing a 20 % launch discount, so that’s basically a triple-shot latte for a full-course mystery. Hit that wishlist now on Steam pings you the second the bell rings. And also be sure to play the native Linux Demo!! The bottom line about this narrative-driven, 2D, choose your own adventure? If you crave branching stories, retro synth vibes, and the sweet agony of redoing the same Tuesday until your thumbs fall off, circle Sunset High on your calendar—July 23. Grab your backpack, pocket a few emotional band-aids, and get ready to find out whether you can solve a disappearance … or if the school itself has other plans for you.
An ode to idle animations.
O sweet idle animation, Cradling the player, Creating a sense of familiarity. Conjuring life in the scene, Connecting stasis with spirit.
What would we do without you?
Bobby would rather snooze through class than pay attention.
Did you get contacted by any news stations yet
I am assuming this is about my school? in that case not me personally but every local news stations got involved within a week or two of me posting that and a lot has happened in a month lets just say everything is better now. I will try to do another full update soon.
have you seen the scrub thing on the mdps home page? just wondering how you feel about that
I didnt know about this till now so thank you <3 I think its amazing. If we have to complain about something affecting our learning environment then having a local number to report it when the school itself isn't doing anything then its a great thing. I just hope its not something students or parents take advantage of and constantly complain.
For my followers who would like a link {x}{x}
How's the school situation going?
A lot better actually. After the photos went viral a lot of things started changing and all in only 2 weeks of all the students including me posting the pictures online. You can check my tag exposesunset or sunset high for more.
You can have a bunch of students write anonymous letters to the board of education in your area just drop them off at the mail office, to be sent off, WHAT THEYRE DOING ISNT LEGAL AND THEY KNOW IT!! But you must keep it all quiet until the board says
Yeah I posted it two maybe three weeks ago and since then a lot has happened its better to explain with linking you to the update {x} but to add to that post new rules are being enforced and everyone is pretty mad but its helps keep the school clean and in order so I am okay with it even if it really strict its kinda what we needed. Oh and some students did do that and parents too.
