In what way does your game fit the theme?
It explores the concept of going back in time to when loved ones where Alive
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I scripted everything with a visual scripting tool, and made 99.9 % of the assets,
I did use a paid water shader and paid visual scripting pluginlto aid my process
All the Music was made by the second member of the team, as an original soundtrack for the game, and If I do say so he has done a wonderful job really pulling the whole atmosphere together.

Thank you for the experience. It was a touching approach to the theme Rewind. The graphics did a great job at creating the atmosphere. I liked the use of different camera angles. The music also adds to the atmosphere. One thing I found about the music is that after I walked towards the gate, I went back to the house area and two tracks were playing simultaneously. That put a little halt in the experience until the new track came on when I moved towards the stone path. Also, I saw in the credits that the music is an original soundtrack. I always appreciate that. Overall, I really enjoyed it. Good job!
Thanks for your review and sorry for the bug, I have already patched it but obviously cant update until after the jam, , Im glad you liked the Music, Im very happy with what Denno made for the game, it fit my story so well.
Your game was rad btw.
Very nice game! For only one person I can say you did a good job
Thank You!
very good story enjoyed it alot
Thank you very much, I liked your game too!
Good soundtrack and original theme implementation
Thanks man Appreciated.
Wow I really really liked the story! I would love to see more of this!
Thanks I am already adding polish for a final version post-jam, you can sub for an update if you like.
Cheers Glad you enjoyed..
Your game is so good man, really liked it.
Absolutely loved it, the visuals, the story, the personal touch, the music. It reminds me of "The first tree". Wish there were some sound effects other than the music and also a black box behind the text and indicator of who's talking since the two boys had pretty similiar colored text
Thanks for your review, and I appreciate your input, I had actually planned to include all the things you mention, but wanted it working start to finish before I added polish in, and alas I ran out of time, maybe version 1.01 will have some of these features.
Very nice story and ambiance, liked the game a lot
Thanks for your review, Much Appreciated!
Very chill story i love it 🤍, cool art style i wonder how u managed to finish that in 1 week.
Very impressive
Thank you, Solidly working on it every night after work, and thankfully Im at point with blender where I can work pretty quickly! it was still a slog.
very nice mate, its a good exploration game with a nice application of the theme on the story. at some point while looking for the latch to open the gate, the friend disappeared on me lol, i dont know if it was intended.
GL!
Thanks for the review, I imagine he got stuck in geometry :/ did he appear later on though?
no that i've seen, its ok just keep it up :D
Wow, this submission felt really personal and explored some very existential concepts. It's also the only one I've seen so far that's about NOT rewinding something, so very creative take on the theme there... Anyway, kudos to your team! This is a nice piece of artwork.
The level was bigger than I was expecting considering its quality, the camera work was solid and the pacing was good for the emotion conveyed. Sometimes I felt like the dialogue was a little rough and broke my immersion, but in another way it made the story more human. One minor game detail: I spotted the gate remote before I found the gate, but nothing happened, so I had to backtrack to the remote later. Anyway, on whole I was impressed by this experience! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your kind word much appreciated, Yeah the whole thing from a scripting perspective is a bit rough, I am allready Ironing out the kinks for an update after the Jam is over, the initial plan was to record the dialogue, but that was one of the first things thrown into the "ive over scoped this bin" 3 years of tinkering with Blender and unity this is the first game I have completed so Im more than happy despite its flaws.
Congratulations! It's really easy to want to do more, and there just isn't enough time for everything. This was my first game jam game, too, and only the second project I've ever "finished" really. I'm happy for you finishing your first game, that's really awesome! Keep at it!
Loving the sound for this.
THANKS HEAPSThis is really good! The audio, visuals and game design especially, whole game feels surreal in the best way. Only thing is I wish the friend followed the character more closely so it'd feel more like they're walking together. Also I noticed a little glitch where he would kinda levitate near the sign and his leg would act weird.
Other than that I love it, makes me feel inspired actually.
wow Thanks for the review, and thanks for letting me know about the glitch, I did actually have a version were they ran closer together and I was going to change it back before the dead line but forgot... I plan to make some updates to the game after the Jam so be sure to check them out!
Appreciate your review.
"Made me feel inspired" is the best review I could have asked for
No problem dude and yeah, it kinda inspires me to wanna make a surreal adventure game. I'll be on the lookout for updates also!
Great visuals, great audio and I love the fact you seemed to make it "personal". Overall good job, thanks for sharing it with us!
Thanks, The ingame sound track was made by my team mate, he really is talented, Im glad you enjoyed it.
Well, this was unexpected... in a good way :)
Beautiful and emotionnal.
Good job on the usage of music and lighting in particular.
Thanks for your Review! Really appreciate your kind words.
I really loved this game, the graphics were beautiful and the animations of the character's movement all the way to how the head turns slightly before the body when turning around was a nice little touch that didn't go un-noticed! Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks Heaps, I believe the animations are from mixamo and are included in the Game Creator visual scripting plug in I used, so I cant take credit for that, BUt as an Artist, This plugin Helped me achieve my vision in 6 daysso hats off to all the asset creators that help us achieve our visions, Im glad you liked the game.
wow this was just beautiful ive go other why to tell it. and the whole Greek passing over mythology i just loved it. with your bit of humor mixed in. like some floating trees
Wow thats a really great review thank you :)
Graphic, game design, audio is very good! Others still to be worked on but game felt good :) love to see more of it!
Thanks so much

This is what games should be about. Emotions. I enjoy it, it has bugs (one with the second instance of the same music played was particularly annoying), but it works as it conveys emotions. Thank you!
Yeah its buggy for sure, I made this in six days after work, Im glad I completed it, and thanks for your review I am happy that I got the message across, I'll be sure to make a 1.2 after the jam ratings are over to polish it a bit... or a lot... Thank You!
I enjoyed your game ! Really fun.
P. S.: I would appreciate if you'd check out my game!
Thank you so much, I will check out your game
