First off I'd like to say that I unfortunately didn't get the actual gameplay implemented. This is more of a proof of concept/tech demo for the framework I've been working on so if you're looking for a game to play it won't be here yet. Sorry :(
However I can give you a little background on the game concept.
There are multiple worlds stuck in different time frames converging together. As a time detective you have been hired to figure out the cause and stop them for collapsing space time as we know it. To do this you can travel between worlds using your tape player by playing music from that era, but you can only remain there for as long as the track is still playing. Once it reaches the end you get pulled back in to the world you where originally in.
In this demo I was testing out moving from present day to a 1940's-50's Noire era.
Controls:
W,A,S,D : movement keys
E : play the Noire Music
Mouse : look around
Note: You can change the screen resolution via the config file in the config folder, as well as setting it to full screen by setting fullscreen to 1. It should open with a normal txt editor
All Music heard in this demo is by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)
Minor Update: The game relinquishes mouse control when the window loses focus. Though the cursor is still hidden when over the window
Interesting concept, could definitely be something with more development. I would like it if the window would relinquish control of my mouse when I Alt Tab.
@naksrifati Thanks, I knew by the time I got to the last day I probably wouldn't have much in terms of gameplay as ong as I could demonstrate an example of the core mechanic. I do like this concept and plan to continue on with it in my free time.
@g0wen Thanks, like I said above I will be working on it in my spare time. Thanks for pointing that out I kinda overlooked that, so I will check when the window is no longer in focus. Also I forgot to mention that Escape key will exit the application
I always think its better to submit something, even if its not entirely finished than to miss a game jam. Good choice in music! WE used incompetech too! They have some really good stuff. Anyways, if you continue to build on the game after this LD, I'd like to see where it goes! Good luck to you!

@jomomomo as the game is made using my custom framework written in c++ rather than something like unity there won't be a web based version
