My New Roommate is a Void Monster!?

A gif from the game My New Roommate is a Void Monster. It shows a college dorm room, half covered in a pulsating dark mass. A human-shaped figure talks to a smaller pulsating dark mass. The following text is shown: "Er ... " (Three symbols representing the void monster's speech.) "I don't ... " (The same three symbols, spaced further apartl) "(Bits of darkness are flying off them and floating to the ground, like embers in reverse.)"

My New Roommate is a Void Monster!? is a game about a college freshman and their randomly-assigned roommate, a void monster. I started working on this because I thought it’d be fun to make a visual novel where one of the characters’ speech was unintelligible symbols. It was fun, but it turns out, also pretty difficult! This game was featured in Rock Paper Shotgun’s Priceless Play column.
