End life plan
The game will stay accessible after the jam and can even be printed thanks to the document version and be stored forever in a hard drive or in real life :)

It could even be reborn as a true visual novel in the future.

Transparency note
I already had an idea of what kind of game I wanted to make but everything present in this project has been made within the time of the jam (worst than that I started working when the additional days had been announced lol)

About the AI stuff, I only used it to translate some french expressions or to have tips or help with the translation because I started by writing all the script in France then transleted it in Ensligh. That's why I don't think I enter in the "Generated with AI" stuff since all the content in the game is made by me. But yeah I used it to help me with some sentences or words but NEVER to write something for me or "rephrase" text.

Not a big fan of text-based games or VNs, but I still enjoyed the story. Well done!

“Sometimes I’ll spend five hours straight on a project without eating or drinking… and other times I won’t touch it for weeks.”

that quote is so relatable 😭 i liked the small conversation, although i was bit intrigued about Planel. the dialogue is all about Umi, but we don’t really don’t know much about the one who’s hearing. i would love a version with more content in the future. also the printable version idea to make the game preservable is so cool. great job ^^.

Thanks for your comment, you're sweet :)

And about Planel, it's just a little reference of "Little Dungeon Renovator" another game I made.

And dont worry, I already started to work on the complete version :3

I felt like i was having a heartfelt conversation with a fellow game dev, good job.

Very good dialogues, I would've loved more graphics to increase the immersion and maybe some sort of an intro!

Cool game! Enjoyed the conversation :D

I like the fact that this is just a conversation. I'm guessing the fact that you wake up at the end regardless of your choices is what makes this fit the theme "Limited Lifetime"? I'd love to see a VN version of this!

I was surprised that I enjoyed it so much tbh. I enjoyed the banality of people able to conjure up whatever they want and decide simply to hang out in a bar. There's something very funny about that.

Glad you liked it :)

I really enjoyed this novel. I know it is a little short and that you are on vacation but plan to make it longer so I am excited! Dialogue I feel is hard to write so creating these characters must of been hard work on your part. Great job! Also, if you have some time, I'd love to know what you think of my game! I have some dialogue in there that I think you would like :)

I both like bars and procrastinate :D.

The dialogue is written in an interesting way; despite how talkative the girl is, she is equally mysterious

I also checked your game, I was surprised to see another person using Twine lol
