Walk around the city and enjoy the sights and sounds. I was inspired by the walks I take around my local city, and I used photo and audio reference for the visuals and audio in the game.
Should run in any capable HTML 5 browser. Sounds are important - if you don't hear them, please try another browser (tested all but Safari).
First jam. Used Constructor 2 and decided to stick to the theme and also excluded cube/circle/retro graphics/auto-gen sounds (All those things are awesome, but I wanted to do something different). Also wanted to avoid using jumping and shooting mechanics. Hope everyone enjoys their time in the city!

Interesting graphics, but it could use some action or more surprises, as well as background music. Also, there's a funny bug to make the character walk backwards!
The style is interesting. I think some more variation in your available activities would have been good, or more action happening in the background - for example, seeing character dialog or similar as you moved through the city.
Really enjoyed this one. Personally I thought the audio was great without music, and was what made the game so effective. The parallax background added a lot, too. My only suggestion would be to have more positional sounds (e.g. passers-by) and positional sources for sounds like the crow calling. Great job, though!
I enjoyed the mood that the game creates; it would be interesting to see a version that was expanded so that you can explore the city more and perhaps try to accomplish some goal. There seems to be a bug where the game freezes if I switch to another tab and then switch back; perhaps that is due to the game engine.
Lol!! Quite nice! Loved the ending, LOLed for real! Sound effects are cool. Definitely is a minimalist game :P. Could have added more stuff and a goal, but then it would not have been as minimalist, so... Cheers!
It's a semi-interesting concept that actually got me thinking on how to make a certain kind of game, but of course, with just walking and not much more it is a limited experience. And moon-walking at the beginning is fun. XD;
Thank you to everyone that played the game. Please consider rating it if you haven't (in whatever categories you feel are appropriate). For those of you that wanted more interactions, what specifically would you like to see? I have a lot of ideas for expanding the experience, but I'm curious what your thoughts are.
Interesting idea. Some games like "Every day the same dream". "Gray", are not powerful at the gameplay, but the things they want to express are quite interesting.
At first I thought "That does not sound to be fun to play, lets try it" I just knew exploration games like Proteus and Antichamber and believed that only 3D exploration are realistic enough and games can be fun. When i came to the traffic light I was really impressed and enjoyed the whole (too short! :p) walk. Awesome :) -> Top rating.
Interesting idea. I played this in Safari, on an iPad. The sound effects worked the first time, but on subsequent playthroughs there was no sound, even after closing and reopening the browser. An interesting experience, although the very limited control and lack of interaction make it seem un-game-like, more an experience. Thanks for making this.
Hi, I wanted to play this and it seems other people have, but after clicking to start, the arrow keys and WASD do nothing. I've tried this in Firefox, Opera, Chrome and in desperation, IE10. Has something changed, why is it broken?

Nice graphics though and I like the ambient sounds.
The main background sound scape stoped kind of abrupt...

Good job!:D
