Photography project: sonder
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
❝ You received a new mail! ❞
It's only the start of the year, and you are already falling behind.
Your photography teacher requested the homework you have yet to send; a series of photographs linked to a subject important in your work.
On a whim, you decide to head near the river outside of town and seek inspiration in the scenery there. By an unsuspected turn of events, you cross roads with a sweet stranger named Zechariah, who believes he could be of help.
Game made for the Zach Jam of January 2024! Introductory piece for my longer, upcoming game: The Beast of Riverside, where you're able to meet one of the main characters and love interests: Zechariah Carter!

OK SO, I finished it and, it was very nice!
The art and GUI looks quite clean, I like the color palette (brown and green are two of my favorite colors >:)) and I like Zechariah's design too, although I don't know what to think about him yet, he seems nice but a little suspicious, I dunno. Even though it's short it was enjoyable and the sound was relaxing too... I also noticed the Ashton easter egg! . The concept of sonder is pretty cool as well, I liked that it was used in such thing as a photography proyect, about different people and stuff, it is fitting and somewhat beautiful.
I'm intrigued about your next game and wish you the best, I will, of course, play it too. ^_^
Waaah thank you for playing it!!! it means so so much!! <33 :,DD
I loved reading your comment, I'm really glad you pointed so many aspects in such a positive light- i'm so happy you had a good experience!! (good thing you noticed the easter egg! Many missed it, but i had fun putting it in zhfbz)
The game's plot went over some revisions, so I'm glad the final one was good enough! :))
Aaah I'm very glad, thank you!! There will be more of Zech and his character, the man is very awkward when things don't go his way- so he can be quite suspicious as you said haha
I hope you'll enjoy it too, and wishing you the best on your projects as well!! Will play yours whenever you do! >:)
AWESOME! and thanks :)
🤍🖤
A gameplay of my game??? Wow!! Thank you so much for playing! <33 :D
WHOOHOOO!! Go Scar!! this was actually pretty fun - even if short - it was very nice.
It's like a cookie - yummy, but sadly, small.
Can't wait for the new batch of *several* cookies - Yummy, and more to come.
Ahahah!!! Thank you so so much Eli!! I'm very glad you enjoyed it! <33
And such a lovely comparaison- don't worry that my next cookies will be much "bigger", in hopes you'll enjoy them too! >:DD <33
