In a remote part of the woods, a father and his daughter are suffering through a cruel world. Suddenly a forest spirit makes her appearance and helps them out. How much can you help them before your time is up?

This was made for the GMTK 2026 jam, in 4 days and the theme was Countdown

To play, you just press any key to advance the dialogue. That's literally it lol. Oh and try not to skip any dialogue by pressing a key too fast. I kind of took inspiration from my favourite games Oneshot and Deltarune when making this and I decided to challenge myself by making it entirely alone this time.

Unfortunately I had no time to add any gameplay so this is a purely narrative experience. I spent the first 72 hours working entirely on the visuals and audio lol. I made the entire game from scratch alone, so I hope you enjoy it
