Made in Game Maker 8.0 (Exported to html5 using studio on the 18th December) in the time allocated. In my hastiness to upload i forgot my source, and gave the old version for friends to see. Correct version is there now. :D
Sound was intended, and i would have add it to the game, but ran out of time. Next time i need to dedicate more time to sound design as a whole.
Moving the mouse outside of the game window crashes the game (multi-monitor setup here). You could also investigate objects and have their descriptions appear in the letter screens.
Nice little story, even thought the gameplay itself wasn't all that compelling. Some music and/or sounds would've added a lot to this game.
That's a good storytelling game ! I really like the mood of the game ! Some sound could be very cool for this experience (like footsteps in the snow <3). Just had an error at the end when I was reading the last letter :s
Spoilers for those who read this: Deanna and Jacob were in a serious car crash, Jacob got out okay, but Deanna's injuries were more serious. Deanna was left in a coma (in which the game takes place) that doctors thought she would not return from. The letters are what Jacob is saying in the real world to Deanna, and explain the struggles he is going through without her there. The light represents her waking up again, saying Jacob's name.
I wanted to attempt to make a short story in the 48 hours i was given, and i hope i was able to pull it off.
I loved the story (sad though!) & it was a clever way to guide the player through the game, the graphics were very atmospheric too - nice touches with the snow flakes too. Very original. Nice one. :-)

Awesome...
That plot twist...well done. :)
Even if the game is a bit slow, it keeps our sight on each little details.
Good game ! =)
