My original idea was too complex so I went for a pseudo-3D game where you go to a place called Inklake to take rare pictures and your professor gives you a backpack of tools. The thing is, now this one is nearly as complex as the first idea and I ended up making the map one square mile. I just don’t like making games that can be finished quickly, because I have yet to figure out how you give depth to characters in such a short time. That would be why this is called Ludum Dare though, not Narration Dare.

So I’m probably not even able to finish for the jam 😛 2 hours to go.. so fail I will this time.
