Ephemeral (faiebae)

EPHEMERAL :

You find yourself stuck in a time loop on a doomed train, constantly reliving a distant memory. Trying to find a way to save yourself and those you love by breaking the loop. You experience a wave of emotions filled with regret, love, sonder, and lost moments, as you walk through the compartments of the train with time fleeting at each step.

Enjoy the serene music and the calming ambiance or rush to solve the mystery of the loop.

The game incorporates the RESET theme and a narrative perspective of 2 VIEWS, with MINIMAL INTERACTIVE controls. 

Sometimes the hidden details of our memories reveal a lot. Such as the time a moment takes place, immortalizing itself.

-----

Reset is brought upon through gameplay, where the player is exploring the environment for a limited time trying to figure out how to escape the loop. The Player has 2 minutes to do a set of amount of certain actions until he gets reset to the start. The Player has to learn about vital information from the initial loops to perform the loop properly. Prioritizing certain actions over others in the limited amount of time you have been giving.

2 views through the narration where the player is put into a dilemma of understanding what is meant to be more important to him or his loved ones, as he explores through the game.

Minimal interaction is brought upon through the controls of the game where the player has to use basic movement and interact controls to get through the game. Allowing him to take in the ambiance that is created alongside this beautifully fulfilled world.
