Trouble tells the story of Notyet, a video game character who has met a tragic fate. Originally designed to offer players a light, optional side quest, Notyet never got the chance to fulfill his purpose. The game’s creator passed away unexpectedly before finishing his programming, leaving Notyet in a state of permanent incompletion. Even his name is a placeholder, a lingering reminder of something unfinished: Not yet. Not done. Not complete.
Now, he remains stranded on a floating island above the clouds, in a forgotten corner of the game world that no player will ever reach. A non-playable character in a world without interaction. Abandoned by code and cut off from any story arc, Notyet exists in a loop of eternal waiting. A ghost of potential, haunting a map that will never be played.
Alone. Forever.
