This is a story about a young girl named Tabitha. We all have stories don't we? But I'll wager none of your tales involve a mysterious cottage, a terrifying witch, or a foul-mouthed badger named Colin!
Tilt and shake a bewitched snow-globe to guide the cursed Tabitha in this fully narrated fairy tale.
*NB: There's no subtitles so make sure your volume's up!*
Controls :video_game:
* WASD / Arrows - Tilt * Space - Shake
Alternately, drag with the mouse to tilt for some finer control!
Okay, I must say, this was a lovely little narrative game you made. Too bad it was so short, but hey, not bad at all for being made in 72hrs! Also, quite the soothing voice Adrian has. It really makes the game :grin:
Hahaha, I like the story and the dialogue, the writing in general. Everything in this is on a surprising amount of polish. The graphics are very well done, from the models to the mood of the lighting. The Narration is easily on a professional level and the little audio loop is also doing a fantastic job.
Also nice job in using your mechanics as a sensible puzzle with the apples on the ground and whatnot.
Haha really nice writing, that was unexpected! Loved especially mr shitmouth badger.
The game felt really smooth and I always knew what to do, plus the idea of shaking the snowglobe to solve puzzles is really interesting for a short game. The narration was also really good, possibly the best of this Ludum Dare .. Also, props for providing a Linux version, works like a charm!
All in all a really great entry and take on the theme!
Thanks everyone for the feedback, will be sure to check out your things soon, I'm just waiting for the voting to begin really to do it in one big go!

Great game! Loved the story and the voice acting! fantastic graphics and everything. I enjoyed every second of the game, and felt satisfied at the end. Not sure how you managed so well in 72 hours but this was great!
One of the best of the bunch. The voice acting is on point, the story is brief but well played out, and the game displays great humor despite serious looking visuals.
Would not be sad to lose to this game! Rated highly!
This is fantastic. "'F off', Collin hinted." The graphics and voice acting were great, especially considering the time constraints. It's a good sign when the only thing I want from the game is for it to be longer (not to say I didn't love the ending).
Very funny, well crafted game. I love the humor of it. Everything from the intro all the way to the end follows a clear and interesting path. The only thing I wasn't really sold on was the gameplay. The tilting mechanic makes for a fun and unique gameplay, but it honestly was a bit quick for me and while my head didn't start spinning I definitely felt a slight discomfort.
Great job. I personally do not enjoy narrative experiences, but overlooking my own taste of games.. It was simply a very good little game. The voice acting and is great, the atmosphere is cozy and the mechanics were quite fun n easy to understand.
WOW! This is one of the best games here. Graphics is super professional. Voice acting sounds like from disney studios ;) I wonder how you get into this idea??
In the words of Colin the Badger: *"This game was fcking great!"*
While the game was short, is was the best few minutes I've spent on any Ludum Dare game so far. The narrative was absolutely fantastic - pro-release quality there. The story was funny and while the puzzles were quite simple, they were innovative and fun to play. I really don't have anything negative to say about this game, as it was perfect for what it was... and it was made in 72 hours.
Superb job, and congrats on having made a great game!
You folks have made a really polished and high quality game. I thought that the writing was very funny and the voice acting was absolutely professional.
Amazing! Almost everything about it is top notch! I know it is mostly a story driven but I'm sure the gameplay could introduce better challenges. For example: you learned about moving right away by tilting. you learned about the stick and rolling the apples. The Key was way too simple to get (maybe add another level of puzzle at this point?) Wish I could had seen what was happening inside the house. Other than that... this was a fantastic experience!

This was pretty damn good, I thoroughly enjoyed this. We we're toying around with a snowglobe idea at first too, I'm glad someone did that with so much style! Very short, but very sweet.
There were a couple times when I think the character was colliding in invisible walls that appeared next to the little cottage. A minor bug that didn't bother much, but thought I'd note it's existance.
A really good entry, all things considered. Incredible job!
Narration is 10/10. A little short but the idea of tilting to get objects to places is brilliant. Surely I have seen games that use tilting as mechanic but I haven't seen an adventure game do it. So I would say this kind of idea would work very well for a full scale game.
This was quite a whimsical game. Really lovely story, leveldesign and atmosphere. The visuals and the narration fit just perfectly. One of the best i've played so far.
The narration in this is brilliant, funny and helpful. The game is a simple one, and I did find it clever how you tilt and shake the snow globe around to solve puzzles. There is definitely some good in-humour in this. Great work!
The graphics, the sound, and the story are perfect! I miss a little more gameplay or more dinamics. But its a interesting and beautiful game. Congratulations ^^
Voice acting was clear and very funny. Even though it was a short game it was fun to figure out the challenge, and fun to piss off the fouled mouth badger!
Probably one of the best, funniest games I've played this jam. 10/10, will definitely go in my "Best of" Video at the end of all this. Zero complaints, Zero ideas, just joy.
Yes. Awesome. I like this a lot! The controls took a little getting used to, but, ultimately, they're completely integral to the gameplay, so I wouldn't change them.
If you wanted to expand on this, I would totally play a series of short vignettes of fairy-tale games like this one!
This was brilliant! Really funny little story, loved the mechanics of tilting the snow globes and solve puzzles and loved Collin of course. One of my favourites so far.

Also the visual style of the game really adds to the whole fairtytale snowglobe idea.
Great game! Is Adrian a professional voice actor?
Also nice job in using your mechanics as a sensible puzzle with the apples on the ground and whatnot.
Amazing entry.
cheers~

Other than that, love it! Great work, guys!
You know if you are in for some more snow globe games, me and my friend @quaternius made a game in a globe too: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/hibernaculum

I have nothing to complain about, simply perfect!
