Embedded Files
Step into the vibe-filled world of a girl and her pet cat. Explore a 2.5D diorama-style environment where each area functions as its own interactive lo-fi scene. Every moment is meticulously coded to bring dynamic digital life, chill ambiance, and good vibes directly to your monitor and your room.
Highly optimized to run smoothly on most devices, this world is built to be playable completely offline and locally.
Live at Your Own Pace
Stay Local or Explore: Kick back at home forever, or hit the town to go shopping. Watch the trains come and go, or save up enough cash to buy a ticket and send her on an epic journey to an unknown city full of neon, smoke, and moonlight.
Discover & Unlock: Meet a cast of colorful characters. Unlock secret stories, hidden areas, and exclusive items.
Chill & Observe: Watch the pixelated cast live and breathe in dynamic digital scenes. Technically, you don't have to do a thing.
Development Status This project is currently in its early stages, but I'll be documenting the progress right as I go. The game is being built first and foremost for Windows and Linux. With enough community support, development will speed up, and ports to other platforms will become a reality.
(An Alpha build will be available soon at no cost.)
**This game is being built firstly and foremost for Windows and Linux, but with enough support, it could be ported elsewhere and developed much faster.

Project Backstory: From Hardware to Haven
The Wind That Whispers Your Name has a slightly unconventional origin story. Its original prototype name, Piris, was a mashup of a completely different project: turning my Raspberry Pi into a physical bridge for a local AI Agent (Iris) that runs from my desktop. The initial goal was to give digital life a way to interact with the real, non-digital world via a camera, a microphone, and external hardware.
While the project has evolved far beyond a Jarvis-style voice assistant, it remains a prototype for blending digital and physical realities. It has blossomed into a cozy pixel world where the main character primarily interacts with her own environment, but there are still subtle ways (with more to come) for her to interact with the player and the real world. For now, the main way that she interacts with the real world is via a realtime clock.
Honestly, the pivot to a video game came from simply feeling stressed and overwhelmed. I wanted a virtual buddy that lived on a small monitor on my desk—a customizable, self-contained digital world that didn't require me to open my phone and doomscroll. I commissioned a pixelated version of Iris, designed and coded her cat and her room, and realized this was the perfect canvas to materialize some of my older world-building ideas.
Developing this game has become a form of art therapy. Building this virtual space and bringing these characters to life is incredibly satisfying, and it has really allowed me to fully step into my self-appointed role as an indie developer and digital mad scientist. 🤪
