About this game
The Premise
At the southern end of Harris Avenue, there is a house. Tasked by a kindly neighbour, you are to deliver a letter to the resident of this house, but the resident won’t accept it. By understanding and trading with the litany of other street-dwellers, try your best to see the request lumped upon you through.
The Place
Drawing design inspiration from a selection of classic games, A Good Deed On Harris Avenue takes place in a single location. Explore and become intimate with this rich, hand-crafted pocket of the world, featuring 11 different houses, each boasting unique, explorable interiors created with a high level of care and intent.
The Point
This game was created to serve two desires: deliver an interesting and innovative puzzle experience, and to say something of note. A Good Deed On Harris Avenue accomplishes both of these goals in a single motion. Play it to find out how.
More About The Game
It's about 1 hour long, and takes approximately 30 minutes more than that to get every achievement.
Features a hand-crafted atmosphere designed to replicate the feeling of the hottest of hot summer days.
The titular "Avenue" is an intimate, rich, environment perfect for getting absorbed in.
Features meditative, At-Your-Own-Pace gameplay.
The visuals draw primarily from PSX/Dreamcast aesthetics, and combines aspects of their visual identities (resolution, aspect ratio, colour depth, etc.) and unifies them with a modern technical backend (high framerates, high quality audio, etc.).
Runs flawlessly on Steam Deck (a consistent 90fps on OLED, and 60fps on LCD).

A Good Deed On Harris Avenue is out now.
As of today, June 19th, A Good Deed On Harris Avenue is available for purchase on Steam. If you'd like to buy it, please do; there's even a 20% off launch discount running for the next two weeks (and because I released the game so close to the Summer Sale, I've been barred from participating... so please consider this a Summer Sale discount as well). Additionally, after much coarse language and lambastment, I now believe my game to be bug free (I found a game ruining bug shortly before my intended release time, hence the considerable delay), but if you find any or even think you may have found any, please do let me know. Thanks,Daniel H. MayRead full article on Community Announcements (Dan)
