Fix Your Mother's Printer
Fix Your Mother's Printer is a "family sim" visual novel where what you say changes the story and your relationship with your mom.
It's Sunday afternoon and your mother is calling you on Swoon, the video conferencing app specifically for moms. She's having a tech emergency and you're the only one who can help! Will you be the golden child and fix her out-of-pocket printer? Make fun of her and watch her fume? What kind of adult child do you want to be? Remember, it's not just a printer. It's an emotional journey.
Designed by Geoffrey Golden for IFComp 2023. Featured in Edge magazine as their "Web Game of the Month."

This is so real. It’s so down to earth that it’s truly discomforting to choose some of the harsher choices (even if the voice at the back of your head desperately wants to). The meandering talks, the endless patience it takes…
I laughed when mom said your room would be Pawford’s. Good boy could take my room!
Thank you for playing! I'm glad a struck a chord, even if it was a bit unnerving. Now that you've had a nice play through, I won't tell mom if you want to try a few mean or sarcastic answers for fun. 😇
Congrats on releasing this project!
Thanks! It feels more real now that it’s on Itch.
The best boy.
Gotta love that Pawford! 🐶
my relationship with my mom's pretty complicated, but i love her all the same so this game hit a little bit close to home for me! it was nice playing through this.
Thanks for playing! I’m glad it resonated for you, even if a little uncomfortably relatable.
