Welcome to "You are Awake"! This is my 3rd entry to Ludum Dare and it is made in pure HTML and CSS! No JS, JQuery, nothing!
I went for this "less serious" aproach because i did not have the time to sit down and code the entire 48h. So I made this little adventure game in about 10 - 15h.
I recommend you to use the web version instead of the ludum dare player because of scaling and some transitions showing up incorrectly in the ludum dare player. I hope you enjoy and every kind of feedback is welcome!

NOTE: In theory this game should run on any device that has a "mainstream" browser. Tested in Firefox and Chrome.
I am torn. This is a great experience, and part of it is the slow pacing of it, but sometimes I wish I could make it go at least a little bit faster from time to time. (That would require JS, I know.)
Speaking of which, the technological feat of making something like this with only HTML+CSS and no JS deserves major kudos.
The other suggestion I have is to have a bit more interesting choices, especially at the start. Choosing between door/floor/wall doesn't really thrill, and combined with the slow pace, I think you'll lose quite a lot of players.
To be clear, I liked this. I liked the audio effects and the "lighting". Shows promise.
Love what you did with so few technologies. It seemed game got stuck after "Oh no!! Hahaha, they were never able to do that..." but what needed to be done is scroll down to see continue button
This made me inspired! The changing background colors were fitting for the scene you were describing. Reminded me of "He Who Journeys Eternity: Lost Odyssey: A Thousand Years of Dreams" on Lost Odyssey on Xbox360.
Some minor issues: - Continue button doesn't seem to appear sometimes. I think you had to scroll since the ludum iframe doesn't fit perhaps.
Thank you for the feedback so far! I'm sorry about the typos, my english is far from flawless. A friend of mine already pointed out the thing about the text showing up when pressing Ctrl+Alt or Ctrl+A but I consider it to be a minor issue. Oh and that the text sometimes is outside of the frame bugged me for a long time and i have not found a perfect solution yet... ...just use the "web" link for now, it should be fine there.
Crazy impressive that this is just HTML/CSS. Nice work. The pacing was good for the most part, I found (a lot of time I find myself sitting and waiting through animated text).
Story was good, though I did wonder for the first few frames if I was going to be making any decisions. Made up for it at the end though.
I liked the audio at the start, it helped initiate the immersion, something that's often hard to achieve with a text based game. However the timing was frustrating, having to wait for text to fade in and out without having any way to skip made it really hard to stay engaged.
Strange adventure, but a cool experience which I liked. I can't say that mood was great because all is really minimalist, but I was in full immersion during all the game. The goal is reached. Thank you for this entry ++
