Hey guys!

Thanks for playing my game! 

This is a short, poignant journey about the discovery of self, told through the eyes of an unusual protagonist. 

It's my first ever game jam entry, made in 7 days for the 3rd BTP jam. Due to the fact that I think I missed something with the scaling settings, you'll have to play this in full screen. But don't worry! I think the experience is even better that way!

Also there is a rare bug during dialogue moments which prevents the player from progressing. I thought I had solved it but apparently it has happened since then. Unfortunately, the only way to get around this is to restart, but since it's a short game I hope you're willing to do so. I would appreciate it. That being said, it is a very rare issue so you're unlikely to encounter it.

Hope you enjoy! 

IMPORTANT: Unfortunately, there is an issue where the music doesn't play in the web version. I've struggled to fix it, but it works fine in the downloadable version below. 

PS. Please leave a comment. I'm eager for constructive criticism (though I'd prefer to be showered with praise, however unlikely that is) and I want to learn to be better. Everything teaches me something. Thanks.

Hey guys! 

Thanks for trying this game made for the 3rd BTP Game Jam!

Just hit download and open the .exe file - you know the drill. 

I made this for my very first game jam, so I hope you'll leave a comment with feedback down below. 

As a side note, I noticed when testing in Chrome that the download that I get that pesky 'this file is not commonly downloaded' warning. Just hit 'keep' and that should do the trick. Please don't let it put you off, I'm just trying to get my game out there, I have no idea why that warning pops up. If it doesn't for you, so much the better.

Have fun!

I really enjoyed this! I love a good narrative and I hope that the Luna isn't too mean to Sol after this haha!

I wasn't able to hear music if there was audio btw.

Thanks very much!

Unfortunately it seems like the music isn't working... I'm not sure why. I'll try to fix it after the jam is over

Awesome aesthetic! The story is a little bit confusing, but I can kinda see what you were going for. I think maybe even a little bit more time in-between conversations would allow the player to digest what just happened a little more? Love where you went with this though! Great job!!

Thanks very much!

I'm not much of an artist so I didn't want big stretches of nothing to let the players realize that my drawing skills are mediocre at best (also what I did there really pushed the limits of my artistic imagination😂)


Just out of curiosity, did you hear any audio? I think there might be an issue where the music isn't playing. Let me know and I'll try and resolve it once the jam is finished.
