Happy Crows second game is complete! Our goal was to create a sense of familiarity within a strange setting, and capture the essence of being a "known" stranger in a strange land. The feeling that everyone around you knows you more than you know them, and the lingering feeling that you carry importance in a place unfamiliar to you.
The visual inspiration behind this game came from the work of Jean "Moebius" Giraud, in particular The World of Edena comic series. This style blended neatly with an exploratory "point-and-click" puzzle game (without so much pointing and clicking). Explore 3 levels of handcrafted worlds designed to make you wonder who's footsteps you're following, and what lies at the end of the road.

Thank you so much! A great deal of our time this week went into designing the assets and aesthetic of the game, so we're so happy that it resonates with you!
THIS GAME MADE ME CRY WHAT THE HELL
the atmosphere is soooo good
Aww, we hope you still had fun! The ending is a little bittersweet, but we hoped the journey made it worth it :) Thank you for your comment!
This is story telling as it best.
The graphics/drawings are also wonderful. Wow.
Keep up the good work! I really had a great time! ♥
Thank you so much!! We felt a story like this one would best fit the jam theme. It's important to us to keep human (or crow)-made elements in our game making process, so hand-made assets are and will be common in our work. So glad you enjoyed the game, thank you for your kind words!
