A downloadable game for Windows

Hello and welcome to my BA submission!

This project was made with the topic of Games as a Form of Therapy and takes inspiration from A Night In The Woods. Please check the documentation attached if your interested in the creation process.

Concept:

The game went through many phases of what I wanted it to be, but as it is now, the concept is a story-based survival sim in which you go through each day doing a daily routine while the story happens through talking with different people and affecting the players environment. 

The survival aspect comes in with the sanity and energy bars which are resources that the player needs to manage. Energy is needed to do activities that could raise your sanity or for mandatory tasks so should be saved and spent when there's leftover (unfortunately not functional in launch). However if the sanity bar reaches zero and the player goes to sleep, the game is over. 

The story plays similar to a rogue-like in which each day the player can speak to different characters and complete their routine to progress the story and when the day is over start a new day with the advancements of their actions. 


How to Play:

  1. AD to move
  2. Space to jump
  3. Backspace to interact
  4. J for quest log
  5. ESC to pause

Install instructions

Hello and thank you for trying my game! 

unfortunately its a little more complicated than just running an exe. 

I had to build with UWP platform so that I could use the computers voice recognition but UWP only builds apps.

Therefore the only way to play this game without publishing it to the app store is to:

1) Go to your windows settings -> Update and Security -> For Developers -> Enable Developer Mode

2) Open the top folder of the game (not the do not ship)

3) Open the Visual Studio Souloution file "Take Your Time" 

4) Once VS is open just click the green play button that says "Local Machine" (it should have "Master" and "x64" to the right) 

Apologies for the complicated process but this is what I had to do to implement the feature.

Thanks again and I hope you enjoy!
