All the Creeps of the Cosmos: Side Future Volume 1
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
All the Creeps of the Cosmos: Volume 1 is a two-part kinetic novel spanning the distant past and future!
In Side Future, humanity suffocates under its alien overlords, the Creeps. Salamander is an underground resistance fighter who, like her comrades, gained strange powers after experiencing the mysterious "Hatching" phenomenon. As she fights to free the surface, what will she discover about her friends, her enemies, and herself?
On the opposite side of the conflict, an agent of Keys, the enforcers of tradition, fights to climb the ranks of power. But where will he turn to when his purpose is shaken?
Side Future is a story of queer love, acceptance, and perseverance in the face of overwhelming hate and indifference. Featuring a pixel art aesthetic and a vibrant cast of characters, Side Future will captivate readers with bat cracking, skull smacking action!
Demo available now! The demo is around 4K words. The script for the final game is 70K words.
Details and demo of Side Past coming soon!
All the Creeps of the Cosmos is intended for a mature audience. The demo contains some brief descriptions of graphic violence.
This game was written by Crystal and Sadie DeForest. Together, we are Air Gong, trans lesbian wife and wife team extraordinaire! The character designs and sprites were created by the amazing Alexandra Ferm (Alexandra IDV), and she also made the title screen, the game's logo, and the headings on this page! The launcher icon was created by our good friend Arrietty! We hope you enjoy the game!

who can say what moods the full story will tackle, but the demo is just pure, cathartic, unfiltered, "trans girl who is sick of continually falling through the cracks of a busted society and finally gets to do something about it with her cute friends" wish fulfillment. it feels pleasant, healing, and good for basic functioning, like a nice glass of water. love it so far! thank you for writing this :3
I'm so happy you enjoyed the demo! There's definitely more of that mood to come in the full game, but other emotions are going to get explored as well. There's still another protagonist whose perspective you have yet to see... :3 I can't wait to show more!
The demo's fun, but I really can't wait to see how everyone responds to the full game! Air Gong's so cool!
That's so sweet! Thank you so much Maple! I hope you like the final game too!
Just finished the demo. This is a great start! I'm sure y'all have a lot of work ahead of y'all, but this looks promising. I love the character designs, but what I really appreciate throughout is the background art all throughout with the combination of high contrast colors and pixel art. The sound design and what music there was is also a delight~
One minor note, I had to revert the font to deja vu sans in the accessibility menu due to readability. I usually don't do too well with a lot of modern pixel fonts. Just an accessibility thing for myself personally. This is just a demo though, I'm sure y'all plan to do a lot of stuff regarding the UI later on.
Looking forward to the full release~
Thank you so much! We're really glad you enjoyed it! ^^ There's a lot of sprites left to make for the final game, but things are progressing really well!
Thank you for the feedback regarding the font as well!
