A Strange Day

UPDATE POST JAM - 27/03/2025

I've resolved the know issues.

Additionally, I’ve added some details and reworked certain dialogues. 

There’s still some work left to do, so stay tuned!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Plot Introduction

Lost somewhere, find a way to go back home. 

You may not be the only one to have suffered this fate, and it is likely that you may recognize someone.

But the main question however is: what is the purpose of gathering all such personalities in this place?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inputs:

- WASD: move

- Spacebar: jump and next dialogue

- Mouse: implants

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Age restrictions: This game is recommended for mature audiences as it contains content that may be disturbing to some players. 

***SPOILER ALERT***

The content in question consists of some dialogues of the villain character or messages reported around the map, which deal with sensitive topics, including a pandemic, the drastic choices to manage it and the death it has caused.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Developed for  Lost Frequencies 2025 in two weeks.

The game is at a good 70% of the idea I had in mind, but unfortunately due to time issues I could not delve into the dialogues and the design of the various areas, which would have given more completeness and understanding of the plot I had in mind and the connection with the proposed theme.

In addition, other important parts are missing such as credits, some music and sfx. I will add everything later.

I ask you to please be patient, unfortunately having developed the game alone it got a bit out of hand.
