Solo Dev
Did you use any pre made assets?
Only the font by Not Jam "Scrawl 9" - CC0
Did you implement the Mechanic?
Yes
If you did use the Mechanic how was it used?
I Implemented cut scenes throughout the game but mainly at both endings (both being cut scenes), I also Implemented two puzzles one being a maze (idk if this counts) and another being platforms that move that require you to activate buttons at the right time to stop them to build a walkable bridge.
Did you add the Object?
Yes (two of them)
Please explain the premise of your game, how it works and what to do.
The premise of the game is you are a 'Cinder' a small creature born from ash and you must strive to keep the being in the fireplace alive. Mainly by obtaining embers found in different areas of the game, while doing so the story unfolds in the form of notes for those keen enough to look out for them. You are told what to do in the game through both a small 'objectives' notation and through dialogue of characters.
Will you join one of our jams again?
Yes

Well done! The story's so cool!
I'm glad you liked it, thank you for playing :)
I liked the art and story a lot!
Thank you for playing :) it is greatly appreciated.
this is some great work! I found the first puzzle a little tricky so I'll try to re-visit it. the art looks great and you should be proud!
Thank you for playing, I am curious what part did you get stuck on? I was worried about certain sections being too hard.
Really stylish world and artstyle, very nice. We had fun playing it, especially the mountain.
I'm glad you liked it, also if you liked the style, it is heavily inspired by a game on itch called Soul Void, you should definitely check it out.
