not bad. i loved the graphics, the style was so cool. the story was interesting, but definitely too short and the premise wasn't explored too well. would've loved more depth out of the timeline choosing, but it just seemed like a find the object game but the object wasn't hidden.

not bad overall, nice work.

Really short, but that is expected from a game jam! I think if you had more time to develop the premise you could make something really amazing :)

I noticed so many little details! For example, the grass in the front yard bends when the character walks through it, and the hair turns gray in the old age stage, with the music slowing down accordingly. The overall presentation is incredibly polished. My only issue is that the jumping makes me a bit dizzy.

Thanks so much, your feedback was really thorough! I'm glad to hear you liked it :) The camera was for sure a problem when  jumping (more of just a way for me to show off the parallax background)

Nice concept! The atmosphere was solid, the art, sound, and writing meshed well. A little more gameplay and giving purpose to all the areas would go a long way. Good job!

This game has such cool narrative! Going trough multiple part of life, retracing and fixing problem is a cool concept. Great work!
