How does your game fit the theme?
An Elder's Quiet Day perfectly embodies "the calm before the storm" by contrasting the peaceful routine of a clockmaker's day with sudden, intense flashbacks of his traumatic past.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, I made all the code, all the art and music myself from scratch.
I used some CC0 sounds from free sound for sound effects.

Interesting take on the theme. I got lucky with the wires and completed it in one go. The art and music are really good. Well done
I was intrigued to see where this was going! Was a bit disappointed it cut so short. Took me a couple of tries, didn't see any hints on which wire to cut. The art and vibe was cool, and it's a very original take on the theme!
short and engaging
Beautiful!
Had no idea which wire I had to cut tho xD
Loved the message in the end, ty for that :)
Interesting concept, though having to guess at everything made it difficult to see through till the end.
I want to play more, i enjoyed the gears although i had no idea what i was doing
Thanks FlamingTrashCan! I wish I had more time but drawing this style takes ages!
Short but shows well the theme of the jam and gives a nice message at the end, which sometimes doesn’t go well when you do it but it’s worth a try
The song is good and I like the clock ticking, it helps with the atmosphere, also it changes in the flashback which are little touches that helps the story
I can say 2 things about the game:
The screen size of the game can be better, I tried to play this in my old pc with a screen of 1366x768 but didn’t fit well, so I had to move to a 1080p screen and press F11 to see the whole game screen
And the other is when 2 pieces of the clock stack, it can be a little hard to separate them
Outside of that, I liked this little story :)
Thanks for the great feedback
A bit short but definitely interesting and I liked the visuals! It was just a bit confusing at times. Also I love the idea for using both keys as tweezers :D
Thanks rionit!
