The Call by Yakka

[raw]
made by Yakka for LD27 (COMPO)
And suddenly, your phone rings.
"Hello Daniel. This is Sarah."

***

The Call is a very short narrative game. Each game makes you discovering a bit more about your past.
I've worked with Processing. If you have questions, feedbacks or remarks, please contact me on Twitter (@Yakkafo) or in the comments. Enjoy! :)

Seriously though, I like it! I think the screen needs to be bigger in order to let you make more meaningful choices about where you wanna go, but it's really cool.

Brilliant. Nothing short of brilliant. I loved how the narration unravelled the more and more you played, and I think the idea fits the theme very, very well. I would have liked a bit of audio feedback maybe, but still, kept playing over and over to explore more of the paths. Have I said this is brilliant?

Really cool concept, It's just that it's damn near impossible to make a decision if you can't see the whole labyrinth.

Well made and satisfying. Rebuilding the story is surprisingly addictive, but may have worked even better with some excuse to make us restart. First LD Compo : success !

Interesting idea and take on the theme. It hung up on me a few times, (the game, not the phone), but really that just gave me the chance to replay it and know a bit more about what was going on.

My character got lost off screen a fair bit but all in all, really nice. Really cute art too. :)

What an amazing game! Thank you so much for making it! I would love to play it longer, and have more choices to make. Excellent work! Congratulations!

Really nice game concept. It's just a bit frustrating to go a path and realize you would prefer to say something else than what's coming to you.

What an awesome dialogue system. This could be expanded upon, used in other games, and so much more. Extremely impressive idea and work!

amazing narrative! played it over and over and found the storytelling very well made. perhaps that the ending often felt like it was a little abrupt, and i wish the screen was wider, because i sometimes couldn't read all the text when i finished the sentences, but that's about all the criticism a have. great work!
