Game description
Within Rotation is a game of chance encounters. Strangers can touch us lightly, or move us in a more lasting way. With a large cast of characters, distinct in their personality archetypes, discover these unique conversations as Within Rotation shines a light on universals experienced in this life together: fate and friendship.

Theme interpretation
Waves plays out in two ways in Within Rotation. Characters randomly meet and greet one another, and character meet each other at different waves in their life - with different life stages, career choices, and personal concerns.

Players also can play this game in waves - this game involves doing a specific and repeatable ritual to turn and reveal the two gumballs/characters that will start their conversation. This flow makes up the bulk of Within Rotation, and encourages players to appreciate the effort in randomly drawing from the cast of characters.

Great art style and  its a very polished project ! 

My only note is that even though it's a storytelling game , it feels a bit repetitive, as we just follow the dialogue by clicking the mouse. Maybe some mini games or possibility of choosing answers would make it a touch better.

Kudos to the team though, good work!

Very good art style! 

The idea is very cool as well, but becomes a bit repetitive. It's pleasant to watch those encounters, but feels like there could be a bit more than just watching them happen. Also it was a bit strange to see them talking about cafe or art class while standing in the same place eveytime, seeing the place where they actually are would be amazing

Anyway I had a good time playing it.

Very well done!
