This feels like a cold bucket of water after trying other games in this jam. This game is unique

This is so unique for this theme. I was waiting for the jumpscare tho haha, Thank you for sharing your work! GJ!

Developer

Oh, yeah, the atmosphere is weird and somehow suspended, so i see why you were expecting a jumpscare! Thank you for trying my game and for your nice comment!

Submitted(+1)

Wow this was unexpected. A complete different approach at doing games and a refreshing new concept for the jam. Noice!

Developer

wow, i really don't know how to thank you! Have a wonderful day! :D

Mysterious! Are you a greek by any chance? Filming real life is a unique approach tho, love it! Check out my game as well. It's a bit more grounded, but still nice i think.

I remember playing flash games like this when i was young. Brough me some good nostalgia.

Developer

Thank you, can't wait to try your game!  Actually, I'm not greek,  i only studied some ancient greek  language and history many years ago at school, and  i've always been fascinated by certain historical figures, like the Pythia!

I wouldn't call this a game in the literal sense. More like a form of art. You are first and foremost an artist and then a developer. You have my respect for using GDevelop in a completely different way.

Developer

Thank you!!! ^^

Truly a peculiar game, haven't seen something similar before, good job! The music is also good and the vibes it gives are unique, like a film

Developer(+1)

Thank you!!! If you're interested, i made the music with  the app version of Korg Kaossilator, then edited it with a little bit of Audacity. :)

Awesome experience. After seeing this I want to go to my bed and stay under the blanket for a long time.

really interesting gameplay, but i am confused, is there a win state or a lose state? or is that left ambiguous on purpose?

Developer(+2)

Hi! Thank you so much for playing this little experiment and taking some time to comment! The answer to your question is no, in this game there is no such thing as a win/lose condition: the focus of the whole thing is the relationship between the fragment of a bigger story shown by the video and the perception that each player can have of the background of this story. The game doesn't tell you everything about what's really happening, and the only tool players have to understand (or imagine) more of it is the oracle device: the interaction with it will define what you get of the bigger picture, so  players' questions become important in defining their personal view of the story and the story itself. At least, that was the idea :)

SPOILER ALERT: also, there's a way to reach a secret ending in the game, but you have to decipher the hidden meaning of oracle's sentences!

Submitted(+1)

ah thats pretty interesting, pretty cool you were able to come up with it and execute it in the time frame of a game jam tho, and lemme see if i can reach the secret ending xd

Developer(+1)

The only way i have to thank you for your words is by telling that if you don't find the solution i will be happy to  give it to you privately on Discord or anywhere else! ^^
