Story & Overview
The pit has closed, and the money has gone with it. Ding Dong is a story-first game about one family's kitchen during a strike: the 1984 miners' strike.
You play Jack, keeping the household afloat day by day. Rent is due, the coal is running low, and the radio carries news of a town pulling itself apart. Maureen notices all of it, and what she says depends on how you've been managing.
Every choice is small and every consequence is felt at the kitchen table.

Feature 3
Maureen and Jack's exchanges respond to your finances and the state of the town, and some lead into replies of their own.
Feature 4
The kettle, the radio, the front door and the letter from the Coal Club are where the story shows up.
