Game description
Help Ricky uncover family secrets in this heartfelt point-and-click game made for the GitHub Game Off 2024.
Theme interpretation
The theme made me think of a more story based game, maybe something atmospheric rather than action driven. So I opted for narrative driven point and click game.
Wildcards used (optional)
Small Palette
Limit your colors to 4

You did great! I feel that the limited color palette did wonders with the hand-drawn style of your game. The puzzle were pretty easy but the mechanics were well implemented. I liked the audio as well, very fitting. Good job :)
Nice theme. But I need more hints.
Very good video game but it's too fast
Do you have any other scenes planned?
Like others have said I definitely just wish it had been longer, but the length is perfectly understandable in the context of a jam, the art and ambience are quite charming though, nice job!
I love this type of games wish to play it in fullscreen tho
very short but nicely drawn point-n-click. No real puzzles, but a good base that could turn into an interesting game to play later.
What a nice, relaxing, cozy little point-and-clock game! I loved the minimalist sort of artstyle you used, and my only suggestion would be to add even more! Overall, a really fun and wholesome game and a great submission!
This was such a wholesome game. I love point and click games like this. The music was also comforting. So great choice. The only thing i did not like is it ended so fast! I wanted more of it!!!
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoyed it. I definitely had a lot more I wanted to add but only had about a week and a half to work on it. This is my first attempt at a point and click game and honestly I loved the process so I'll be making more like this in the future. Thanks for the kind words and encouragement!
Hope you release an extended version after the game jam!!
The map is interesting！I like to follow the grandfather'map.
I'm glad you liked it, thanks for playing!
Holy Crap Grandpa got me ground floor Amazon stocks?! Thanks! As others have noted it's a little short, but this is a game jam after all. You executed the concepts you set out for well. None of the control was finicky or difficult. Also, as you had no other sound, I would have liked the music to be a little louder. Thanks for the play!
LOL one can always dream XD
Thank you for the kind words and feedback, I wanted to add so much more to it but ran out of time. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I loved the graphics looking handmade, also the music was a perfect fit. The story twist was totally unexpected but a bit short. I really enjoyed it!
I'm really glad you liked it, I definitely had much grander plans for it but unfortunately ran out of time (I only had about a week and a half to work on it). Thanks for playing!
Really nice job! I love point and click adventures, the music was perfect. Well done!
Thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Nice! The story is great, and the music helps set the tone. Enjoyed the details like changing the background sound effects as you navigate the world, as it made the game feel more immersive.
I'm glad you liked it, thanks for playing!
5/5 Love it !! Great work!! The sounds - basic drawings the narratives just amazing.
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for the kind words, it really means a lot.
