Cute story! I included it in my GMTK Game Jam 2019 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)
Thanks for playing, Jupi!
You folks should definitely check her videos out, she does a lot of coverage for indie and Game Jam games.
I'm such a big fan of procedurally generated characters!
Controls are intuitive, comes with a help file, very playable.
My next step would be to add some more levels, nuances etc. Could you make the mum share some similarities, but not all? Then the player has to follow clues and single out their own mum.
You could have hazards and puzzles in the environment too. This has lots of potential!
Hi TommyK1986, thanks for playing our game, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
A couple have people mentioned the idea of the mom being similar, but not identical to the player, but it didn't really occur to us at the time! What we did think about was somewhat the opposite - possibly making it so that the other characters had a lot of similarities to the player, but only one looked exactly the same. We could then modulate the difficulty based on the number of similarities, but we couldn't get it working in time.
Thanks for your feedback, I'll definitely be taking it on board for future projects.

Some mums spawned in a way so that they blocked the way. Also, cool idea but there isnt any difficulty. Maybe add a 1 minute timer? :thinking:
Hi Sharifen, I'll be kick myself for a long time, because I thought I'd solved all the spawning problems! We looked into several ways to manage difficulty in the game, but I'm not really a fan of time limits, personally.
Thanks for playing our game and leaving feedback!
