You left me some sad emotions. Thank you. Artistically beautiful
Oh man i liked this game now, but this is the type of thing i'd be so obsessed with in my younger years.
This is a fun little game. I really liked piecing together the backstory here, particularly when it mentioned that humans are extinct. Good work!
Love the presentation - music and graphics both bang-on theme and really impressive given the time.
I'd be interested to know what software you made the game on? There's some interesting similarities between our submissions gameplay-wise actually, very different styles but both narrative games with randomness and uncertainty thrown in. Hopefully you get time to check mine out too before the end of the jam?
Thanks, we used Unity to make the game. All the dialogue content was handled with scriptable objects. TBH it is kind of a silly way of doing things because it makes writing and editing a pain. Normally I use Yarnspinner to do branching dialogue but I wasn't sure if it was allowed for the jam. I will try to check out your game if I have the time. What software did you use?
Top-notch game, well done!
Nice little game and great graphics! (I would really appreciate it, if you would check out my submission!)
Really great art style and music! Nice original concept.
Are you REALLY in control of your future or just a passenger in a predetermined universe?
loved everything about it. theme, aesthetic, art, music... my favorite game of the jam so far
did you come up with the concept / meaning of cards yourself, or is it based on an existing system?
Thanks. The cards are all original but we took inspiration from Tarot and Lenormand cards. For example "The Man" is based off "The Devil" from Tarot and "The Prey" is based off "Death." Most cards are just interesting symbols that have to do with animals.
Really nice art and sounds !
Pleasant and enchanting game. I like such a curious reflection on the theme!
Cool spin on the theme. Had a great experience!
Interesting concept, great atmosphere and music.
Awesome game! Very creative
Interesting take on the theme, great art and I love the guitar in the background it really adds to the mood!
Very very interesting. I always enjoy playing your games, Matteo. Cool take on the theme!
Thought the game was super cute. A really interesting take on the theme.

That was pretty chill!
The music and art are lovely and I actually learned a few facts on the way!
Great job.
I loved the presentation of the game and the use of the theme is pretty nice too.
