Based on clearing contest build.
Piranha's unreleased and unfinished prototype fangame, made for Aronax's Shortventure Contest 2017.
It is a very short game, existing as a proof of concept. The theme of the contest was 'growth', and to explain better, I am gonna use Piranha's own quote, which explains the idea excellently! The quote: "It was designed to use time travel as a gimmick so you could plant seeds and time travel to have them grown into different types of trees which had different gimmicks depending on the type of seed, in order to help the player platform in the future when the trees had grown."
The game was very short and Piranha gave to the contest judges what was done and decided to not continue it. I am not sure if it was supposed to be a sequel to 'The Day Thereafter', but I am kinda assuming that the answer is no.
The setting is put in some lab, and the overall atmosphere is really great. Audio design (for cutscene, for text and etc.), visual effects, sweet cutscene and the interior of the facility does all make you being invested (and even feeling horror aspect) even though the experience is really short.
There are bugs, and the overall attitude of judges you can read here: https://iwannacommunity.com/forum/index.php?topic=2668.0
But, overall, the game was not supposed to be polished, it was made for the contest and to show what could be done in such a short period of time.
I like the options, narrative and the gimmick itself. For the contest maybe some more test-play for fixing bugs would be great, but for how short the game is, I do not think it matters that much.
I wish the game would be finished, but it seems like it will never be, which is quite sad. For what is in the game, you can refer to my video showcase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDfe69GKAUw
You can see that even in this short experience, author put their soul into this project, and I appreciate it. If you somehow have the game, you can try it out for a short experience of 5-10 minutes. It is not a masterpiece, but it is definitely not a waste of time.
Would recommend if you like proof of concept type of short games.
