TIME by etchell
This is my entry in to LD50. My first LD!
TIME is a game about the passing of time and what we choose to do with it.
I wasn't able to put in anywhere near the amount of interactables I was aiming for, but I did learn a lot about Unity and it was a great opportunity to apply what I have been studying at school.
There is no real objective to the game. But there is a secret. If you figure it out, let me know!
Controls
WASD to move
Mouse to look
E or left click to interact.
Bugfix: Interactables would become activate-able from anywhere.

1) toilet and harp - sounds play everywhere after used it
2) paper - text out of border with frequent use
I have found that Firefox, on Itch.io is having issues with setting my Mouse X axis to 3.0 when there is actually no input. Is this is the issue you ran in to?
It does not do this in any other browser. Nor does it do it in Firefox when running it from Unitys local server. It's very strange.
Though fun fact. the harp sounds are recordings of my partner :)
The text overflowing was just a fun bug I left in because why not!
I really like the visual style of the game, something about the simple flat 3D style just really works.
I don't think i found the secret, though I really did try!
I also really enjoyed the way the walls fell apart as the world ended, kind of felt like Outer Wilds in a way.
If I had to have a complaint, its that the camera was constantly rotating to the right and made me kind of dizzy haha.
Good entry :)
EDIT: Think I've worked around the itch bug telling it to load in a new window...
@ernestogtz Thank you so much!
@mopifish Thank you so much! Cheers on the visual style. The initial apartment model dictated it and anything I added I tried to keep consistent with it.
The camera rotating was something introduced on upload to Itch. I've tweaked itches settings and it shouldn't do it any more.
I did make the frame for the alarm clock in Blender though. First time using it :)
Thank you for sharing.
The plan is to finish off the project to its original scope.
Lots of interactables, a flashier ending, a menu with sensitivity and other configuration, plus some more atmospheric items.
I'm working on it now and will post it on Itch when it's done!
