Theme inspiration
I brainstormed with the other main developer in the team, and we came up with two ideas: passage of time and serial passage (in biology). Since we couldn't come up with an game idea for serial passage, we went with passing time by a river (which was inspired by the mobile game "My Oasis").

Sensory info
Turning on the speed up option can make the day/night lighting cycle transition quickly.

Nice game, most of the challenge comes from figuring out what the cheat code are. Which I wasn't very successful in. I at least got a good stream of Zoeys going :).

Can I cheat and get the cheat list : ))?

You nailed the Extra Media challenge and the theme ;)

My favourite is autumn evening with fish going to the ocean. I wasn't succesful with finding hidden cheatcodes.

May I suggest to  rework a tiny bit on the water sound loop? when it plays over there is a little break.

It's nice to take a break during jam testing with a cool non-game experience. Well done!

Thanks for pointing out the break in the water sfx, I'll remember to watch out for those small details in the future :) If you DM me in Discord (@Marco in the EC Jam server), I can give you a list of the codes.

Also, I saw your game on the stream, and it was amazing how well you implemented the  diegetic UI elements. I really liked it!

By the way, the development team has a Discord server for those interested : https://discord.gg/DKqr89z
