This is not a game in the traditional sense. Every ending is the same, and that's part of the point...
Northern Spy is a short contemplative piece about gathering while ye may, and also about compost. I finished just under the wire, and while there is a good deal left on my to-do list (like a final scene, and music), the game is playable and I think it conveys its message.
TIP: Watch the shadows if collisions are confusing.
It is written in Processing (Java). Sounds recorded/tweaked in Audacity, titles hand-lettered, sprites made in Photoshop, trees grown procedurally/algorithmically.
I'll release Mac/Windows/Linux binaries soon, possibly as a post-compo version with the aforementioned features.
Thanks for giving it time! :)
