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.

Really good voice! I didn't really get what I was searching for, I am just clicking sort of randomly to advance lol

I really enjoyed the vibe, your voice, the often cool and eclectic images even clicking madly to find the next page all made the experience eep with nostalgia. Super glad you added gameplay elements with putting the picture together added a touch more interaction which felt nice alongside spurring my imagination as to what I was looking at.

Interesting take on the theme, really cool stuff, keep it up!

A very unique and interesting idea. The gameplay is extremely simple, but in this case that's a good thing. I could simply listen to the narration, which prompted me to think about the message of the whole thing. Overall, a short and simple, but also meaningful and thought-provoking experience.

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 :)

Developer

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!

Developer

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! 

Developer
