How does your game meet GBJam's theme
For old gold, I was inspired more by a materialistic mental item rather than physical gold. To incorporate this, I created a game where your mother is in a care facility and you visit her one night with her high school yearbook. You go back in time as your mother to repair the old memories for her (or attempt to... 👀) Some are good, some are bad. Depending on how many daydream clouds you get will determine if you hit the "golden" memory that she may have once forgotten. (Don't want to spoil the endings so I'm being a little vague :') )

Phenomenal game! I got the ending where they talk about a clown.
Thank you! Congrats, you were remembered! <3
I thought you did pretty well with the concept! There was a bit of an audio bug that may or may not have been intentional: once the memory started glitching, so did the music. Besides that, I enjoyed it. Well done!
Thank you for playing and for sharing. I am not sure why that happened. I will have to try to mess with it to try to break it in some spare time as I can't get it to happen on my part right now.
Neat game! I played through three times but was only able to get two of the endings. I liked the atmosphere, mechanics and narrative quite a bit :)
Thank you for the kind words! If I expand on the game more, I want to make the endings get a little more spread out to get.
The current endings are:
Very touching! And a lovely interpretation of the theme. The game does such a great job of building characters in such a short span. Got dumped, got baked XD
Appreciate the words! I tried my best to make them feel at least a little bit connected without making the game super long or way too short. Very glad to hear it landed well.
This was very sweet. The story was really affecting, and the yearbook is a great framing device. The music was perfect. I was interested in the memory erasing mechanic, and I'd love to see a longer game that played with that idea more.
Thank you very much for your kind words and for playing! I honestly fell in love with this game concept very quickly over the span of the jam, so I might expand on the game afterwards as well.
Very atmospheric artwork and sound design.
The story explores a surprisingly deep theme.
The game is interesting and enjoyable to play, and all of its elements feel beautifully and carefully crafted.
Reminds me something like "To the Moon", neat little novel. Less on gameplay but lovely visuals and good player direction!
It's a solid little visual novel-esque game. Art and music are nice, story's neat. I didn't realize collecting clouds was important, but ended up collected them anyways and that worked out. Good job!
A fine narrative game, with not much emphasis on gameplay, which is okay. The game interpretes this jam theme quite well in my opinion by having a more original take on the meaning of "old gold"!
The soundtrack is chill, it doesn't do much to surprise the player but it's good enough to set the mood.
Graphics are clean enough, my favorite image being the yearbook picture :)
