Pine Point: Insomniac

You’re Nil.

Fishing at Lost Lake, trashing the popular kids’ cars, and playing in your shitty garage band are all things you’d rather be doing than working a dead-end job that will probably keep you trapped in Pine Point for the rest of your life. 

Fortunately, you get to work alongside your best friend, Dimitri. Unfortunately, Dimitri is leaving town at the end of the summer… and you’re not.

Pine Point: Insomniac is a short, surreal slice-of-life visual novel following Nil, a severely sleep-deprived slacker, as he tries to survive the day at work with his best friend, Dimitri.

ABOUT THE CREATOR

Youtube | Patreon|  Twitter | Tumblr| Instagram | Merch Shop

Zi is a director and animator who doesn’t play games, but loves telling weird stories. She is the most comfortable writing silly cartoon comedy, like in her Youtube series Ramshackle. However, Zi doesn’t enjoy being too comfortable, so she decided to torture herself by creating a series that is centered around coming-of-age drama and surrealism–hence Pine Point.

Pine Point: Insomniac came into existence after realizing that another animated episode would probably shave years off of Zi’s lifespan, so a visual novel was the next best thing. This game serves as a short proof-of-concept for the Pine Point project.
