Your Time
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
OVERVIEW
Many years ago, there was a small and quiet village, which won the love of the whole country for the kindness of its inhabitants and how comfortable it was to vacation there.
What was for a long time a beautiful anecdote, became a legend that few remember and finally passed into oblivion.
Everyone's favorite place to enjoy the summer lost all its tourists and inhabitants in just a few months, leaving only two people to its credit. What are they doing there? Why don't they run away? We will have to meet them in person to understand (if anyone dares to enter that unexplored territory).

Any fanart, critique, bug report, correction or contribution is more than welcome. It could be part of future content featured in new updates!
This is my second attempt to make a VN, quite similar to my first work in concept, with a totally different aproach. The story is way simplier and "jam-friendly." So I hope you enjoy it!
I'm still struggling writting in english and programming, but this is just the beggining!

Since I played your previous game "Amalgama" before this one, I can't help but compare them. What I can definitely say is that you present a very interesting universe that is full of mystery and lore: it's a welcoming return to the post-apocalyptic snow setting!
It's good to see the many improvements that gives this VN a much more polished feel. I really like the custom GUI for this as it brings the pixelart look together and the limited palette BGs also give it more cohesion. In the previous game, there was an ambience track that looped a bit abrupt (during that scene when you're found and brought inside) but I don't notice any sound effect that I found distracting here, so this in general is a more enjoyable experience from the technical viewpoint.
The overall story is more cozy in "Your Time", and I can't really compare the two because they're enjoyed in different ways (as I mentioned before, I do absolutely love the horror undertones in "Amalgama", and I have a slight bias for that). Either way, this instalment makes place for familial and fun chitchat between the human characters, but it strikes a good balance too as it's still far from a happy atmosphere. This is due to the nature of the strange village and Elise's grandfather feeling threatened by her leaving.
Letting the player pick the order of chores gives it some pleasant extra interaction, and I like the final decision that leads to the two different endings.
Yoooo thank you for your comments, really appreciated!
Glad to know someone that completed both games. Wish I could have the time to play the large amount of Game Jam projects, there are lots of talented people.
Regarding the sound issue, I'll take care about it. Actually, there's a lot of things to take care of (specially Amalgama and its archaic english lmao.)
