In this game, you play as two different characters, 100 years apart but in the same place. The first character must solve puzzles and the second must deal with the aftermath.

Please give me title suggestions.

This game was developed on a potato so it runs on a potato.

Install instructions

On Windows, it should be as simple as unzipping and running game.exe.

Linux is a bit more complicated. I have been unable to produce a statically compiled binary so you'll have to download SDL2. Once you have that, run game.

If you want to build from source, the only dependency is SDL2. Visit the GitHub for more information on that.

Please note that versions before 1.1.0 instead depend on Allegro 5. I switched to SDL2 for compatibility reasons. Currently, the Windows binary is still dependent on Allegro 5, but all necessary DLLs are included in the download.

That was a lot of fun!  I liked the puzzles and the overall feel of the game.  Obviously things like sound and music would improve the experience but this was fine for a warmup  :)

The only suggestion is you could make the breakable floors more distinct.  Noticing them isn't really part of the puzzles and only serve to frustrate the player.  I tend to think that puzzle games should have all the elements easy to display at the start.  But if that's not what you were going for just ignore me  :)

A Windows version would have been appreciated :)

My apologies. I was having trouble compiling it for Windows. But I figured it out.
