This is a story of one man, which takes the player into the memories of his childhood. the goal of the game is to find his favorite childhood toy, moving from one room to another, activating various memories and conversations with family members. the whole plot of the game takes place in the house and only in it, in order to keep the theme given on Luduma.
We came up with a very interesting mechanic, where the main character travels through time, between his adult state and his childhood.
In our game we focus on the emotional component of the player, we decided to abandon complex, deep gameplay in favor of narrative solutions. we hope that after playing our small game, the player will get a sense of nostalgia about childhood and think about important things in life that he may be missing.
a few words about our style and locations:
The main stylization of the game is pixel art, in our opinion this style suits the atmosphere and gameplay of our game. all locations are made in the same, sustained style, so as not to confuse the player and emphasize important plot points. it all looks like an old game that came out 20 years ago, but this is done on purpose, as our goal was to cause the player a rush of nostalgia.
a little bit about the story and interaction with items:
The story is revealed through interaction with objects and dialogues with the main character's family members. as the player goes through the rooms one by one, he gets to know interesting events of his childhood, reflects and notices interesting details. we don't give a definite answer what exactly is the main idea we wanted to convey to the player, instead we give a ground for reflection.!
