Hello From The Pond is a point-and-click narrative adventure about an MMO that never existed, and a girl you never noticed.

It’s been a quiet summer for Adam. He’s spent the last few weeks counting down to graduation, watching as his friends prepare to leave for college. To put it nicely, his own future is much like his break was - utterly empty.

That changes when he receives a friend request from a username he barely recognises: waywardmelody. 11th grade dropout, social recluse, and obsessed with a virtual world for kids he barely remembers playing. There's good reason to avoid her, and better reason to talk to her. She needs to figure herself out.


Maybe you'll figure yourself out, too.

-

EXPLORE the world of The Pond, the virtual world that time forgot.

CHOOSE your words and moves carefully. Every decision has an impact. Three endings and an unlockable post-credits scene await.

DISCOVER the story that led Adam and Melody to The Pond.

Who is Melody? Who are you?
