VESPER.5

Made for a Super Friendship Club Pageant with the theme "ritual": thread.

In this game, you may take one step each day, and then you must wait for the next day. If you wish to complete the game, you will have to make it a part of your life for at least 100 days. Make a ritual out of it. How will you incorporate it into your daily schedule? Will you tie it to an existing activity? Will you treat it as a ritual or merely a routine? Will you add to the ritual, embellishing it in your own way, making it yours? Meditate, say a prayer, think back over what has happened while you have been playing? Will you approach it alone or share it with another?

Is it worthwhile? You'll have to answer that for yourself.

It's a pilgrimage. It's very simple, but it does have choice in it; even the smallest decisions have their consequences amplified when you can only move daily.

  5. I don't really understand what happened today, but I have some theories. We'll see how they pan out in a few weeks.

    Also, nice touch on having the tiles randomized for each person (but fixed each time you open the game). It gives the game an individualized feel that you really notice, since you spend so much time looking at the same stuff.

  6. Been playing it for awhile now. My girlfriend doesn't understand what it is. I'm thrilled to see what nice picture the second plant will show me.

  10. Just started today, but can't figure out how to take a screenshot of it. For some reason, when I use the Print Screen button on windows (which just takes a screenshot) all I get is a solid black box.

    2. Ended up adding the game to Steam and using Steam's screenshot capture. That was the simplest was without installing additional software.

      For anyone interested, posting my progress here: http://frog-vesper5.tumblr.com/
