Noctisa
Where are you ?
You do not remember ?
Noctisa is a (really) tiny narrative game where the player has to make some choices to advance. There are 3 différent endings.
You play using the keys X and C during the whole game.
It has been made in 10 around hours. It is published for the jam instead of compo due to some problems that forced me to do that way. Anyway the game is there.
Genres: interactive fiction
Tools: OpenFL

Actually really enjoyable, the graphics are amazing, but the music can get a bit repetative

That was...Intriguing ! I really liked the mood of the game, there's something mysterious and mystical between the minimalist graphics and sound and the story told.
I think I kind of understood how you tried to stick to the theme (You start with nothing : No memories), that's an interesting interpretation. Good luck for your future projects !

Nice job, I like the rudimentary Graphics and Sound. They create a nice atmosphere

Even if this game is "minimalist", I had fun playing to find one of the endings.
Even if I'm old, I never played this type of games of lot, but like the idea.
Some improvements for the next one:
- the keys X and C are unusual and very close
- the text is not easily readable
Nice entry!

nice graphics! the text is a bit confused on the trees, but i like the atmosphere you created ^^

Short but cool, I really like that has different endings:) Just that the letters should be on a different color, or not above the trees, so is easier ro read them. Congrats for the game!

It is not very convenient to read the text, because It merges with the background. Otherwise, everything seems to be fine ^^

It's always good to have some narrative games for a game jam ^^ and I like the minimalist approach :)

Something I would do a little different is varying the buttons for doing a "good" or a "bad" actions, because you quickly realise that one means good and the other one means evil (roughly) and that can (in my subjective opinion) affect the player's engagement because they don't have any effort to do to figure out what choice to make according to the way they want to play - Then again, maybe making it clear for the player is what's intended, so I guess that depends on your approach ^^
It's been a pleasure to play it regardless !

@inferture Yeah I think it would be better to "randomise" the choices so you don't end up spamming only one button x) But the fact that, due to the problems I encountered I could only start coding 7 hours before the deadline so I made the system as simple as possible to be sure I could finish it on time x)

So cute! I want to make a game like this: that choices lead to different endings. Who knows next LD. I really enjoyed the script and the finals.
Congratulations!
This is our game:

However, even if I understand the link with the theme, I fell that it is a bit too streched. Maybe a sentence or 2 somewhere could be altered to make it stronger.
I enjoyed it though.
