Design Statement
Our team found the theme track to be soothing, mysterious, and slightly twisted at the same time. It gave us a feeling of calmness mixed with curiosity and an underlying sense that something wasn't quite right. We wanted to capture all these emotions through *Tower of Words*.
We designed the game around listening to different stories and conversations, slowly uncovering connections between them as the days pass. The peaceful yet mysterious atmosphere of the track inspired us to create an experience that feels relaxing on the surface but gradually reveals deeper emotions, secrets, and unexpected twists underneath.
A small recommendation: We highly recommend playing the Windows version for the best experience, as the web version may experience some lag depending on your device.
Game Instructions (launch steps, controls, and gameplay overview)
1. Tune the radio using your mouse. Find each call’s frequency and keep the voices clear as the signal fights you.
2. Record in secret. Recording is against the rules, but only what you record ends up in your call log. Choose which calls to keep. Tap on the recorder to record the calls. You cann see those recorded calls summary when you click on call log.
3. Read the weather. Between calls, copy the station’s readings onto the broadcast machine before the timer runs out, and earn a Gold, Silver or Bronze badge. Slide up or down using your mouse to adjust the weather data you're giving.
4. Stay late if you want. Your shift ends at 9 PM, but you can stay on until 11.
5. Listen to the FM to relax.
6. ESC to pause the game.

Did your project use any AI tools or assets? If yes, please specify.
Yes, We only found out about this jam four days before the deadline, and with so little time we couldn’t recruit voice actors or make it by ourselves. All dialogue was voiced using ElevenLabs AI text-to-speech, we’d love to work with real voice actors in a future version.

I love the atmosphere created by the combination of the graphics, the music, and the dialogue.
Rather fun! i like eavesdropping! (joking, maybe)
Love the retro chill vibe of this game! The pixel art is stunning, and having an in-game music player while sitting by the window on a summer evening feels so cozy. Taking down the weather data between calls got a bit challenging tho. Great work on the presentation and atmosphere!
This fits the game jam perfectly! While the gameplay itself lacks depth, the graphics are excellent, and the interactions between people are very pleasant. It’s not often you see voice acting in games created for game jams.
Thanks for the review, I will surely work on this game in the future to upgrade the gameplay and also to improve the voice acting by real voice actors.
