How does your game fit the theme?
Hindsight is about zooming out and finally having enough information to see the whole story. I see this as related to the idea of scaling up or scaling back.

Very cool interpretation of the theme!
The narration compliments the imagery perfectly.
This is such a unique game. I love it, very well done utilizing the photos so well. Great Job!
Cool game, I almost gave up trying to move on from the second image but eventually found the right spot and made it through to the end, the jigsaw was a great high to end on!
gave me old school point and click game vibes, deffinitly felt nonstalgia playing this!
Very nice concept and execution
Cool concept, and I love the main menu zoom-out to reveal the first photo. Nice work!
Impressive game for a very first game made in gamejam. Very creative and beautifull.
As say before more QOL features would be welcome.
such a cool game, I should have gone to bed but I was hooked. The voice over sounded really good :)
Thanks for the kind words and for the compliment on my voice haha :D
In Hindsight (heh); this is a great use of the theme; However I felt quite unsure on what to do with the photos so I ended up spam clicking like the old days with point n click horror flash games.
Some more direction and UI guidance would be nice and I would also suggest adding a way for the player to zoom in and out of the photo for a better look on what they need to see.
Well done on your first game!
Thanks for the kind words! Big agree on the QOL feedback. I appreciate your time :)
Hey, very innovative game!
The concept deserves to be pushed further :)
I had some issues with the web version, I couldn't click anything, so I had to download it.
Very creative and fun to play!
Thanks for checking it out! :)
beautiful game. 10/10
A very unique concept! Some of the puzzles could be made a bit more accessible with small changes, like switching the icon when hovering over an actionable element. But I’d love to see more of your work and would like to play a longer version of your game. Great job!
Thanks for playing! I completely agree haha. I don't have any other games (other than a SMW romhack) just yet but I'm working on it! Def check out my youtube channel if you wanna see more goodies from me in the future :)
very relaxed, feels like im hanging out with a cool artsy friend watching a documentary
It's me, I'm the cool artsy friend and also the documentary. Thanks for playing! :D
The art style is very unique! Fantastic job, really enjoyed it!
Couldn't figure out what I could click on so I started spam clicking all over like those old Neopets easter eggs lol The photography is beautiful though!
hahaha thanks for playing and for the kind words! If it works, it works! Yeah def need to work on signaling to the player what they should click.
It's really clever to "scale" back and look at life! It was mentioned previously but I had some trouble knowing where to click, but I enjoyed my time and your voice was soothing!
haha yeah if I make another point and click type game I think I need to add some particle effects or something as you move close to the right spot. The earlier ones are especially unclear I'm finding from playtesters. I also wish I had made the buttons bigger/more forgiving, but too late lol. Thanks for the compliment on my voice! :)
I really like the style of this. I love narrative games and games that use real-world images.
Aye thanks! I had a lot of fun writing the script :)
Cool idea, nice job!
The idea seem fun, but I have no idea what to click on.
Thanks for peeking! I think if I had more time and could add something, it would be a different icon when you're hovering over the right part to click. :) Alas, next time! haha
