SNAKEPIT [USA]

You’re an admin on the biggest social media site of the early 00’s: SNAKEPIT.

SNAKEPIT is a narrative puzzle game set in a suburban house, centered around the gaps and distortions created by social media. At the heart of the game is SNAKEPIT, a fictionalized version of early social media sites like MySpace. This interface becomes a lens to explore the personalities and social dynamics in the house. You’re an administrator, reviewing photos, videos, timestamps, and user comments to connect the dots on who is lying, and who is telling the truth.

The intimate, familiar space of the family home becomes a layered stage for uncovering buried truths. The story is driven by the player's curiosity, as they observe character dynamics, gather subtle environmental clues, and piece together the evolving narrative through observation and indirect interaction through social media.
