Update!
I am very pleased to say that I teamed up with SpectralStar and we're working on the concept! Or rather on a story that was born by this concept..
It will be a puzzle/adventure type of game, stylized and relaxing. The story will draw inspiration from historic and scientific facts (specifically the Siege of Melos and the Antikythera Mechanism). However, those will be merely the reasons for our story to begin. The game and actual puzzle solving will revole around the mythological representations of concepts like war, peace, wisdom, etc (there was a God, Titan, or Spirit that represented/personified basically every concept).
There is a rough plan for a 3-Act storyline, but it would be too large for the purposes of the jam, so we will stick with a slightly simplified version of Act 1. We will however, try our best to give you a good idea about how the story would continue.
The most important thing for us is to capture a sort of magical and but keep subtle and relaxing!
I am not sure what is usually shared in log posts like this since it's my first jam, so I'll leave it here for now, but we will probably have another update soon! In the meantime, we would love to hear questions or ideas about what you'd expect to see based on what I've said so far, or just anything really!
Good luck to everyone participating in the jam and see you soon!
