The 1bit art-style is well realised and lends itself well to the noir aesthetic. I know from experience it can be hard to do, so what you've managed in this time frame is astounding.

The writing pulls delightfully at details from the period, I love the references to economic issues of the Wiemar Republic. The scene setting and world building flows naturally throughout, the narrated noir style serves you well.

Interacting with H.P Wells-Little was excellent! I'm so glad you included that rather gentle interaction. And hearing the voice actors is a treat, congratulations to all of them, well done! 

Only encountered one obvious bug, when advancing dialogue with the space bar, the word "Adding" was displayed on screen each time it was pressed (I'm on windows 10).  

Really great work from all of you, especially given the time constraints. And I'm sure any updates you make will elevate it even further.

Super impressive entry. And voice acting? Wow. I really dig the whole idea, even if I miserably failed my first playthrough. I will definitely come back to it (but I have to play all the other entries first!).

Played through. Wasn't able to get to a real ending, but enjoyed the voice acting, especially the German-speaking French accent!

Awesome!!  I did the sound implementation for the game and I have actually yet to play through the whole story, so I'm excited to see it all in action.

Great atmosphere and voice acting, a bit buggy though, and I had the same issue where it just skipped to the intro image and that was that. Hope you keep working on it.


If you're on Catalina to get this to run, use Terminal to navigate to the app location and type: 

chmod +x ACrimpInTimeMac.app/Contents/MacOS/A\ Crimp\ In\ Time/

Then ctrl + left click, and select open. You should be able to bypass the notarisation requirement.

Yes, we're in the midst of a film related deadline due tonight, but hope to give it more polish in the coming days. I've had no such issues on windows, I'll see if a mac friend can help trouble shoot things with us.  With other jams I've done it seems few people even make mac builds so I've never really figured out what the ends and outs of it are, and am a bit confused why a build works on windows but not on mac. 

We're very new to game dev, we're theatre people so it's all a bit like black magic.

Couldn't get this method to work on Catalina for some reason, but thanks for the help.

Great art and atmosphere. Think I managed to break it (on Mac)? After speaking to everyone the backgrounds started dropping out and then it skipped straight to what I assume was the end screen?

Don't have a mac around to try it, but last time this was a problem on my friends computer I just unziped the file command clicked to open (maybe I had to run as administrator). Some mac users have had better luck when opening this through the itch app. Let me know if you're still having problems and I'll see what I can do.
