A Momentary Meeting

A Momentary Meeting is about exploring an ever-changing world, and the fleeting interactions you have with other people along the way. A multiplayer text adventure where the links between "rooms" changes over time and occasionally you'll meet someone else in the same space. Your meeting is short lived however, as the ever changing world pulls you apart and thrusts you back somewhere nearby.

Although this was not a project developed under Redpoint Games, the multiplayer backend was hosted on Redpoint Games infrastructure up until 2026. After this, we decommissioned the online backend for security reasons as it was no longer being maintained.

In 2026, Global Game Jam delisted all games older than a few years. As such, we've set up this page to maintain the historical record.

If you wish to play A Momentary Meeting, the source code and game content is available, and you can build and host your own version of A Momentary Meeting.
