How does the game fit the theme?
The game is about an abusive relationship, where Clare, the main character, is actively trying to leave this abusive household. Her phone, her partner, and her own instincts cant be trusted. The player cant be sure if the stuff they are reading on their phone is trustworthy or not.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
The dialogue system was one prebuilt prior to the jam, alongside a few of the managers, however, they were heavily edited during the jam.

Very creative UI approach!
Couldn't get much far though, didn't understand how to check my messages, and so stuck after drinking the coffee
And it seems that you can gain character elevation by bumping into things with collision, so i ended up twice the height of the partner
Yo idk how this is possible, but I agree I got so big the stove was like midget sized sob.
Thank you!!! - Ui Designer
Sorry about the floating issue ToT
hey everyone! all of the bugs have been fixed for the most part, along with a little QoL change for the phone which was not working last patch. we wished we could've added more to the game in this jam, but we do want to work on it afterwards to flesh out the story more given that all of the major bugs have been fixed!
Is it possible you could make a browser version as well? It's within 48 hours of the end, and it would help you out a ton.
we just made one!
Can't run the game unfortunately
hey there! we've just made a web build, alongside a fixed windows build.
I am sure there are still bugs being fixed because I had the same issues as LollipopGameStudios. I hope you guys are able to get all the bugs worked out. I also was just able to phase out of the building and be on the outside of it.
hey! we fixed most of the collider issues, and we fixed issues with the game not being able to run for the windows build!
ya ill have to check back on this game .. its umm .. he said he's getting coffee .. i am not sure what i said due to the text box buttons being cut off .. i took it off full screen but nope that is how its rendered. the game does not appear to advance .. he just keeps saying his starting line... OH and i can walk through walls but cant come back .. love the intro and menu system fantastic job on that.
Hi!! Really sorry - We're working on fixing things rn!!
Hi!! We have updated the build for most of the major issues - Should be playable now if you're willing to give it another go!
And thanks for the kind words on the UI!! -Ui Dev
Changed the folder name and launched it. Immediately fascinated by the title screen. Ping me once you've fixed the bugs, I definitely want to check out the story.
I will try my best to let you know but head up it should be fixed by tmr evening.
the game's major bugs have been fixed you're more than welcome to try things out now! although, given the scope and time constraints we wish we were able to add our full vision of the story we had in mind, but hopefully after the jam we could do that.
Thank you for the compliments on the title screen !! -Ui Designer
Hey! Wanted to let you guys know the game threw an error when I attempted to start the application saying "Error 'Clare is Calling_Data' Not Found". Upon investigation I found it was named "Brackeys2026_Data". I changed the name manually to the correct one and the game now launched properly for me. Wanted to let you know so you can change that name and re-upload for future people.
Thank you, the team is currently working hard to fix the game and its major bugs/issues.
the fix was to just rename executable to Brackeys2026.exe
Hi!! We have fixed most of the major bugs now, so the game should be playable if you're willing to give it another go!
