Candies In The Snow
Lucy and her mum move into a new house. Tucked away in her bedroom's wardrobe, Lucy finds a little shoe box, empty except for a few old pictures.
Exploring them will bring Lucy to find an unexpected bond with the house's previous owner, to ask her mum the hard questions about her own life, and to figure out how to write her own story.
This is a short game about childhood, lost bonds, and new beginnings.
Controls
- MOUSE LEFT click or SPACEBAR to progress through the text
- MOUSE LEFT click on buttons (for start/restart and choices).
The game should work both in full screen and in vignette mode, but for a better visual experience, I recommend playing it full screen.
This game was made (almost, see below) entirely by me, @awstein.
I used Ink and Unity to implement my writing and illustrations.
The music's not mine. It is:
Sixteen Hours, by Lasse Lyx
If you're curious about the making-of process, have a gander at the game's post-mortem. Featuring rants... and bunnies!
Thank you for playing!
