/!\ DISCLAIMER /!\ => I did not work in any of the visual or sound asset from the game, I mostly used stuff from assets pack I own or free of use found online. (see list at the end)

In KOGOSEI you are controlling the sun orientation and must light your plants to keep them alive. Window's blinds will randomly close and you'll have trouble to give sun to all your plant. If one of the plant stay out of the sunlight for to long you loose the game.

I worked alone on the project. Made with Unreal-Engine 4 and Blueprints.

It was hard to find a real interesting gameplay with this mechanics, so there is no real challenge, you'll end up loosing after some time.

I like the idea very much, its like Five Nights at Freddy for plants.. In other words, if i was a plant, i'd be bitting my nails with anxiety

Nice concept. Would be nice to see the clock show the time of the day so that players can predict how the sunlight might change. Maybe add a weather report to plan ahead and some variation because weather reports are never true! Lots of potential.

Really loved the concept. It would have been really nice to see the plants moving to get the light :) good job as usual

This is such a great concept, that I don't think I've ever seen it in a game before. Even though you didn't make everything, it was still put together very nicely and it resulted in a great atmosphere. Well done :)

Great mechanic for the theme! But indeed a bit boring. I think the well crafted mechanic would have benefited from more plants and more variety, but i think thats obvious. It has a great calming mood and gives peace, until the plants all die :P

遊びはちょっと遅くてつまらないだけど、本当にきれいです、そして面白いイデアです。ゲームをもっと楽しいにするために、何かを足すのが要りますよね

wow, quite interesting gameplay. haven't seen something like that. at one point i decided to let my plants die, just to see what happened. a fun dying screen would have been nice, but overall cool game :)

great mechanics, the ambiance is amazing, a bit stale i might say.

It seems like by the end it forces you to lose by closing one of the two windows for too long, besides that, well done!

Really beautiful game! I think if I can use the mirror for reflect the light, for the gameplay that will be more funny!!!
