Two adorable little girls, Lux and Umbra, took a wrong turn, and now they're on the other side of a thick, snowy forest--and it's almost dinner time!

Gently guide the quirky youngsters through the very odd Forest of Fractured Time in this light and extremely short visual novel.


Features:

  • Less than 2,000 words
  • Dyslexic-friendly font
  • Unnecessary visual enhancements like snowfall and breath puffs!
  • Two strange little characters with very cute art
  • Backgrounds of real world photographs run through FotoSketcher in an attempt to make them look like oil pastel drawings
  • A BG pack is also included (under the file title "Winter Jam BG Pack.zip" containing some of the game's backgrounds, because the original photos were under a "share alike" CC license
  • Art by Minttydrops, Pipoya, Aekashics, Seraph Circle and more!  (Check the  devlog for a full list with URLs!)


Content Warnings:

Mild sense of peril, maybe?  There's not much to warn about here that I can think of.  It's not even possible to lose the game.


Other Warnings:

Ren'py's self-voicing feature causes the game to crash on the few lines of dialog that use the kinetic text effects.

If playing the Web version, I recommend putting it in full screen.  However, do be warned that the Web version does not function as well.  Some of the sound effects won't play unless you roll back and move forward again (no idea why) and images have a weird pixelly loading thing that goes on the first time the game loads them, which can be pretty distracting.

The game does not work for me. There is no executable file in the py2-linux-i686 folder.

I'm sorry to hear that.  I don't know anything about Linux; I just use the export feature Ren'py provides.  I'll try re-exporting it tomorrow or the next day and upload that.  In the meantime, I'll remove the broken Linux version from the page.

You know, actually, maybe I'll try the joint Windows/Linux build instead of the separate ones.  I've been using the separate one to make the downloads smaller, but maybe it's more reliable to do the joint one and that's why it's the default setting.
