In Passing
This was the third game jam I participated in. I decided to go solo again since I had 3 weeks available. I hand crafted everything except for the music and sound effects, which was supplied from ZapSplat and Freesound.
Theme
The theme was "Generosity". The first thing that came into my mind was helping stray cats. The inspiration was from my own experience living in Cyprus which is full of stray cats that need help. My end goal was to give every cat the player met a thing that they wanted, and by the end having their own home.
Story
Born as a spirit in a forest town, your mission, to set balance by helping stray cats while repurposing items you can find scattered in the world. By doing this, the cats lend you their own aura that will unlock new abilities to complete your mission. Starting with the yellow aura, the one you were born with, the one you had during life, you have now received all the colors. You become whole, the color white, the color which is the combination of all the colors and wavelengths. Your mission in passing is now over and you return back home so that your spirit can rest in peace. Passing away allowed you to help other cats in need and provide them with the warmth and love you received in life.
