Hi everyone, my game about subverting history now has a demo!

Decade is a narrative point-and-click adventure game where you will send children back into the past - ten years at a time to learn how the world ended, and what you can do to change it.

Investigate documents, technologies, and artefacts to understand history, manage the children and their abilities as they age dramatically, and try to make the right decisions as you create multiple futures that you can venture into.

Explore an alternate past. Discover how its ideas develop, distort, and disappear. Seed new movements, destroy others. Subvert the rise and fall of empires, art, ideologies, and individuals in this narrative adventure game

I really like the vibe of this. I got to the end and made a wrong choice so the game ended. I wanted to play through again to see the others but having to go through the two other stories first seemed a bit of a slog. Might be better if there was an autosave or something before the third story.

Game controls were fine - sometimes with games like this I prefer at least the option to just do everything with the mouse, but it makes sense and feels like good design to have the important parts (the choices) done with the other hand. It looks great. I'm not a fan of dark horror stuff but it has a strong atmosphere. I think you could maybe do more with the sound, not that it's bad.

The story made sense in the abstract way you're going for. The first mini story certainly did.  The second seemed a bit random (choosing the cups) but still cool. The third one didn't make sense to me so much much (sudden mention of a base, and towns, and things I didn't really get) though I presume that's just part of the idea not to know everything, and like I said, I didn't get far into it.

It's pretty cool though. Well done!

Ah it works beautifully! Thank you so much.

This is truly wonderful. Is there a way I could generate a city and then take parts of it out as FBX to use in another game?

You can shoot those glue pellets you pick up at them. It stops them for a little while allowing you to pass.
