I really like the game’s overall style. It creates such an unsettling feeling. I guess life really is this absurd and fleeting.
When you go through all the stages of life so quickly like that, you realize that your life choices and performance in life don’t really matter in the end, and that your words were no more meaningful than gibberish. 每年都有夏花和秋叶，人生的倒计时永无止境。非常有意思的小游戏，可惜玩的人很少。
we go somewhere
a youxuan style game
A deeply philosophical interpretation of the theme, with a complete and abstract narrative that still feels incredibly relatable.
The stylized visuals, music, and sound design are all beautifully crafted. Life is such an absurd journey — moving through countless countdowns, eventually reaching nothingness, where there is no countdown left anymore.
Absolutely amazing work.
I have no words. This is such a poetic and unique game, (great interpretation of count down theme) I wished more people play your game. Also a tip is you should post the webgl version of your game in the itch.io as it is more accessible. Since your game was also made with godot, you can export it to html thing and publish it too.
Also, some of us are on linux. I booted my windows machine for playing game and It was 1000% worth it. have a nice day :)
Thank you so much for liking my game! I did export the game to webgl at first, but all these shaders in the game make it run in like 3-5 fps and take several minutes to load. Maybe I’ll figure out a way to optimize performance for it to run on web after the jam :)
非常优质的Jam小品！音乐非常好听！尤其喜欢那段在办公室打字的演出！文字很好的传达了作者想表达的观点！
希望可以有更多的人生选项！
Really polished jam work! Love the music. Narrative expressed its point effectively! Really like the sequenece when you typing in an office room!
And agreed to the other comment, I would love to see more life choices!
You’d think a life sim like this would have more endings based on your choices, but I guess no matter what you do, everyone ends up in the same place.
This game has this beautifully bleak and nilistic vibe and ultilises great art and aesthetic.
It tells the story it wants to tell properly, so I’m giving it top marks for narrative.
