Sister Ray

Sister Ray is a gritty RPG-survival game that immerses players in the challenging life of Ray, a struggling artist grappling with addiction while caring for her younger sister. Set against the backdrop of a harsh city environment, the game explores themes of survival, secrecy, and personal struggle. Players must carefully manage Ray’s physical and mental health, balancing the need to hide her addiction from those around her—especially her sister—with the drive to improve her drawing skills and find a way out of her desperate situation. Each day brings new choices and consequences as time progresses with every action, urging players to plan carefully to avoid detection and maintain fragile relationships. Gameplay focuses on exploration and resource management, with a variety of locations to visit such as the school, bar, park, and police station. Players can develop Ray’s artistic talents by finding places to sketch or work on paintings at home, aiming to sell their art or even reach an exhibition. Earning money through part-time jobs, selling art, or riskier endeavors like pickpocketing is essential for survival, but spending decisions can impact Ray’s health and composure, which are constantly under threat from withdrawal symptoms and the dangers lurking in the city. Appearance and self-control also play key roles, influencing social interactions and opportunities. Sister Ray presents a tense, emotionally charged experience where every choice affects not only Ray’s fate but also the delicate bond with her sister and the world around her.
