Broken Home by Kenneth Augestad

[raw]
made by Kenneth Augestad for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

discover the nature of a broken home from the perspective of a child through interacting with the environment around you.

it's a short game with a confined space so i won't post any pictures other than the cover image.

this is my first game. it explores sensitive subjects such as domestic abuse (non explicitly) so be warned!. if i had more time, there is plenty of things i want to do with it. map could have more furnishings. there is no tutorial, but the game is pretty easy as long as you know how to press E and wasd! that said, i think its a great first game and i think you will like it.

changelog

1 actually had to publish the game before i uploaded the zip because unity crashed on me last minute!

2 fixed some gamecrippling UI problems due to UI scaling issues i didn't forsee. this made the game unplayable. also fixed some bugs in the beginning that would confuse the player on the mechanics. fixed

a serious game in terms of theme, but not my cup of tea. I'm not sure if such a theme fits this event. I do not think

Pretty serious game. I think you did a pretty good job with narrative through the use of limited text. The house felt a bit empty (I think you mentioned in a post that you wanted to make more assets), but I don't think that necessarily undermined the effectiveness of your storytelling. I feel like some additional atmospheric sound would have been good and perhaps some slightly moodier lighting. The theme could have been more tightly integrated but the theme is optional anyway, really. Overall, good work!

An intense game, told a very real story with the little time you had. Well done, and good job with the message at the end, a very important cause!
