Colorfull Collector by Flokami
COLLECT AND LEARN THE COLORS WITH YOUR WONDERFUL FAMILY!

GREEN is…

Where is BLUE?!
YELLOW, follow.
RED… are you?
Behind the cheerful tone lies a broken family of four:
Red and Blue, two inseparable children — until a “game” goes wrong.
Green, the father, crushed by guilt.
Yellow, the mother, unraveling as everything falls apart.
Experience a silent tragedy told through undubbed cutscenes, in a disturbing PSX-style horror game inspired by analog horror.
No jumpscares. No screams.
Just the slow unraveling of a family’s nightmare.

I don’t like when horror relies on obvious tricks, so that was a bit of a challenge, and I’m glad it actually worked out, especially with less than 30 hours for the jam :’)
Spoilers ahead.
!> So Red drowns its sibling Blue while playing a game in the bathtub. Their father Green, feeling guilty because he allowed it to happen by not watching them properly, hangs himself. Then, their mother Yellow, kills her child Red because of what it did.
Damn, that's deep for a game about colors.
The end credits remind me of the end credits of my Ludum Dare 56 game Mediator.
Amazing job with the storytelling! Approved!
Great working building up a fairly solid amount of tension here, and within such a short amount of time. I actually liked that not very much of the presentation was overall overt, even if the narrative elements were as such. There's clearly a ton of effort in here given the timeframe, and I think you took the theme in a clever direction. Excellent work overall!
also nice typo :)
great mood
