A short adventure game created in November 2021 for the Itch.io/github Game Off game jam.

You are a Domovoi: a house spirit watching over a household. You live in an attic with a small community of bugs. The humans you watch over are unhappy. Luckily your bug neighbours are talented musicians. Can you rally the bugs and start a jam that can repel the ennui and existential terror of everyday life?
