Very nice and unusual. I miss a bit more complexity in the family's relationship, but considering the time you spent in this, that's awesome :)

Feelt strange and engaging. It's the best ld entry i've seen so far. Bon travail la gang!

Nice Mood and music, but the gameplay is not understandable. :/

Very great use of emotions in your game. Music tied in very well.

Good little strange game. I love it ! Bon travail :)

A very deep mood... I left the game with a strange feeling so I think your job is done :)

Really unusual and good, but I don't think it was very clear how much time was left. Loved the music.

Very nice. Maybe I missed something, but I wish I knew more about the unresolved issues they have to discuss :)

That mood, that music, maybe it lacks some more narrative between characters, but i loved it ! Good job ! :)

Great mood and atmosphere. I enjoyed it a lot and it's very well made for an 11h-entry :)

I haven't found the solution, I think it highlights well the purpose of futile human behavior in this kind of situations. Very good concept, the game will be better by being little more polished.

I found it tricky trying to work out how to get the people to talk to who they wanted, but eerie and engaging story

Nice mood, but I'm not sure what i was exactly supposed to do

i really enjoy this entry. I just don't know how to feel about the lack of the restart button. I wish i can replay the last part... but without it, it makes you think about life and those who you love. So i guess it's a good thing. 5/5

Certainly needs some polish, but great concept and great mood. I got everyone talking but it seemed like I lost, like I took too long maybe. Might try again later.

c'est un bon jeux ...très bien mon amis

Please polish this game post-competition to improve on the general interaction design, distinguishing between characters at a glance (but keep the graphics simple!) and allow people to skip the intro on a re-try. But absolutely keep the abstract nature of it. I enjoyed building up my own little story about the characters; to me, Charlotte and Catherine are sisters with their own families, but havnt spoken to each other in years. Maurice, I gathered, is a child of one of the families as they had no gripes of their own... and I'm sure everyone has their own interpretation.

Absolutely brilliant, and again, with polish (but no fundamental change to the game) I believe this will be an important part of games culture.

Hello!

That was a really cool idea for the game. I liked your choice for graphics and for the music.

I think the game is a bit rough in some places:
- It would be nice to have an explicit, even if subtle, timer somewhere: I had no idea how much time I had left.
- Also, it would be nice if the game had a title screen, and if I could re-start the game without having to quit and re-start the program.

Anyway, thanks for the game, and I look forward a post-compo version!

Here is my video review for you (pardon for butchering the French!):

Hi! Many thanks to everyone for your comments and feedbacks, and Caranha for your video (BTW i'm a boy ^^)! Here are one or two answers if one of you comes back here :)

I wanted the timer not to be explicit to intensify the feeling of wasting time, getting more in the "guts" of the player instead of proposing a cold planification of interactions between people. The light decreases to push that, the music increases in tension, and I'm ok with people losing the game the first time, but everything about success and failure should probably have been a little bit more explicit.

Having abstract interactions (X talks to Y) instead of explicit ones (X has to talk to Y about what Z said during her birthday) was specifically done to let people project their own back-stories - but also, I must say, in addition to a technical and writing ease.

Adding a "restart" button, plus the possibility to accelerate/skip the intro would have been good too, and the layout is a little bit messed up with the web version. But i guess being unpolished is a signature of such a 1-day project :) I will probably re-work it a little bit after the judging, and add a French version.

Anyway, thanks a lot for playing it!
