Design Statement
We interpreted the theme through the relationship between time, memory, and companionship. Rather than treating time travel as a way to simply undo mistakes, we wanted each rewind to come at a personal cost.

Players take on the role of Moss, a guide dog trying to save his owner, Arthur, from a fatal accident. Each time Moss turns back time, he gets another chance to change what happens, but gradually loses memories of the life they shared. This creates a contrast between the player's growing understanding of the world and Moss's fading connection to it.

Our key design choices were built around this idea. We used environmental puzzles to make each attempt meaningful, allowing players to learn from previous failures and discover new ways forward. We also used familiar objects, scents, and sounds to communicate memory loss through small changes in everyday interactions, rather than relying on lengthy explanations.

Ultimately, we wanted to explore whether the bond between two companions can leave a lasting mark, even when one of them can no longer remember it.

Did your project use any AI tools or assets? If yes, please specify.
Yes. Our team used AI tools to assist with both visual asset creation and some low-level coding tasks due to the limited timeframe of the GameJam.

Our team includes two artists, who hand-drew key scenes and created the game's visual assets. Some additional visuals were generated or assisted by AI to support the art production process.

Additionally, some low-level code snippets were generated with AI assistance. All AI-assisted code was reviewed, understood, edited, and integrated by our programmer.

The game's core concept, narrative, gameplay design, and overall development were driven by our team.
