You live in the country outside a big city of England, we're in the 19th century. Your name is Alexander and you were a doctor before your beloved wife died from giving birth to your daughter Sophie. Due to your loss you have moved into the country and started to build a home for Sophie and that’s where our story begins.

Heirloom was a game made for Ludum Dare 44. The theme "Your life is currency" was interpreted as how you spend your life. In Heirloom, spend your life building a house for your beloved child. Acquire material at the shop, then go back to the empty lot to build on your home.

Whenever I interacted with the store the screen would get darker until eventually I couldnt see anything. is this intended? Also the UI seems to be broken as it is appearing in the centre of the screen and overlaying on the player. Couldnt work out how to interact with other things.

I like the visuals.

The screen getting darker is intentional, however there seems to be a bug where if you click multiple times on the store items the dark screen doesn't fade away correctly. The UI does appear to be broken, thank you for letting us know. Also, thank you very much for trying to play our game, and I'm glad you liked the visuals.
