SCHÖS (music exploration non-game)

Yo!
I teamed up with my friend, Danya Gonsales, and we made a little "walking simulator" called SCHÖS (or ЩЁС). You can basically treat it as kind of digital/virtual companion for a music album of sorts. As we invited our good friends to make a music for it (there is one track from me, too), and they also helped with sound resources. As for visuals/locations/objects, we were inspired by diffrent things, including LSD Dream Emulator, Beyond the Black Rainbow, Blame!, killer7, brutalist architecture, graphic design etc.

It's not final version, as we plan to expand SCHÖS further, but for now it's pretty compact - average "playtime" is around 10 mins, though you can speedrun it under 1 minute or try to listen to all tracks and that would be longer. List of people who participated in soundtrack creation:

- Skinny, main menu music author and some creepy drones too, check the YT channel for stuff

- Chronomantique, some psychedelic tunes are his, and more of his music here

- Grush.k, ending dance rhythm is her track etc., check more on this page
http://www.grushk.bandcamp.com/
- Andres Astua, slow creepy drones of death, his creative alias is "Esotherika"
- well, me myself too of course, even if just one ass-crazy track currently, and my other music is here

- and there are other pals who help us by providing sounds, voices, etc. Greath thanks to them all \m/

If you prefer not to "play" such non-games, but still interested - you might watch a video playthrough (it doesn't show all content though) here:

You can also listen to the whole soundtrack here:

And to get SCHÖS itself, there are options:
https://danyagonsales.itch.io/schos or https://gamejolt.com/games/schos/448780 or https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hdulqu ... vLBWt/view
Simply run schos.exe and then choose ЩЁС two times. WASD for movement and mouselook for camera. We don't have mac/linux versions yet. Might run on WinXP, though unconfirmed - tested on 7 and 10.
