In what way does your game fit the theme?

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, 100% of the code was written from scratch EXCEPT the path finding code.
All the art is custom except the wall around the factory and the blackholes themselves

Groovy game, great story, I love small town mysteries! A more robust intro with controls and instructions would be helpful as I did spend quite a bit of time just wandering around, but overall I like the concept! Keep it up :)
Thanks for the input. I plan to update the game with the feedback suggested.
nice! rated
Thanks for the feedback!
Very nice game! It made so much fun to play and I really dig the art style keep it up!
Thanks for the feedback. Rated your game as well.
nice <3
I loved getting to explore the world and feel like a detective talking to all the people and figuring out what happened. The music and sound effects really helped set the scene. Nice work!
Thanks for the feedback! Love your avatar.
Awesome story! And great music too. StrangerThings like.
A map would be a nice add. Or a "Run" button at least.
Thanks for input. Rated your game too. I think I might add a mini-map.
Nice work on the art, as mentioned by others already a bit more direction would be super helpful.
Feedback; A bunch of the props are missing colliders so you can walk through them. If you want to fix the white lines issue that persists in your side walk art you can through the art into an sprite atlas. You can complete the top down effect by splitting your art assets in half so the top part can be on a layer in front of the player while the bottom is behind the player. Combining that with a collider thats half way will give you a nice effect for walking around objects like light posts and trees.
and again congrats on completing your second game jam
Yes, thank you. I started to figure that out the end. Didn't think about splitting them in half! That's a good idea.
Glad I could help :D
Not expecting you to play it again, but I did incorporate the feedback in the latest version, incase you wanted to finish it.

Good job! Just give a little more visual information about what to do :)
Thanks for your feedback!
Not bad. Unfortunately, the outlines of the tiles can be seen for the road which really breaks the immersion. I think Brackeys talks in one of his Tutorials why this happens and how to prevent it. Also, your NPCs can be moved by the player character, this can be avoided by freezing their positions. Overall, really nice idea though!
Thank you for playing though. I know about the lines, I struggled with that for awhie. I tried Brackeys videos a bunch of others, they all reference the original rendering piplne. None of the settings people show are there in the URP. I did ask the community but no responses. I would love to do an update to fix that but not sure we're allowed to update after the fact.
