Talking in the distance
A downloadable game for Windows
A recurring date is haunting your researches:
Tuesday, 13 October, 1931.
It got stuck in your mind.
It's been years since you decided to forget.
But you can't.
You're living in the past.
You should go back.
You should stay safe.
But, despite that, you're going there.
You heard their voices.
You heard their call.
It's not a trick.
They're true.
They exist.
They're talking in the distance.
The events depicted in this game are based on a true story.

Between the ending bug crashing the game and unexpected life things this took way long to make than I wanted, but it's FINALLY ready! A complete recording, ending and all. 👍
I thought it was great. You know I've been playing your releases for a long time now, and love your 2D games, but it was really awesome to step into a 3D world you built this time and I really enjoyed what you did with it. It's essentially still a walking simulator, but it's a very memorable that doesn't spoon feed you the story like they typically do.
Anyways, here's the Lumps Play, if anyone is here that got bugged out at the ending be sure to watch it, it puts a whole different spin on the game!
Cheers, world. 🍻Thank you! 👍
You did an awesome job with the video! 👏
I'm so glad to finally have a full playthrough of this game! 😉
Cheers! 🍻
Thank you for the video, but the game doesn't end there.
That's just an error that was fixed in the latest update.
About the audio, it's strictly positional, so you must find the right spot without getting too much closer to the names, a wanted behaviour with a specific meaning in the whole story.
Anyway, thanks again and bye!
If you're curious how the game wrapped up, I just published a video I managed to get the ending without bugging out in. Cheers
p.s. stalked your channel a bit and dig it :D
