Hope is the name of a 7 year old girl who had to split her ways with her mother in a mysterious manner. The last thing her mother told her was "They think you are a monster, it's dangerous, you have to go." Her mother than puts her on a raft and she ends up in a small village in the middle of nowhere.
***ATTENTION: THIS GAME IS NOT COMPLETE. I'M VERY SORRY BUT I"M VERY BAD AT PROGRAMMING. I HOPE YOU CAN STILL ENJOY. THERE IS 1 DIALOGUE TO INITIATE, 1 ITEM TO PICK UP AND SEVERAL OBJECTS TO LOOK AT.***
The game is made for 16x9 aspect ratio and tested on 1920x1080 resolution so if you have any clicking problems, try this resolution.
LEFT CLICK - Walk (to empty spaces), Look At (objects), Examine (inventory), Skip Dialogue
RIGHT CLICK - Pick Up (objects), Use (inventory)
MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON - Rotate Camera
Everything except dialogue system and music are made by me, Anil Demir in 3 days. Nothing ready.
Dialogue system by Jerome Bretheau
Music by Kai Engel, Alan Singley
Enjoy!

There definitely isn't much to this as it stands, but I really like the atmosphere and look of this.
Low poly graphics are gorgeous and atmosphere is great. Really wish there was more too this.
Nice art, that title screen was beautiful. Liked the mood of the game and would be good to see this expanded upon.
Good job on the atmosphere, the simplistic graphics and soothing audio goes well together. I would say that using the mouse makes the movement a bit clunky.
I hope you work on this post compo, I really want to find out the rest of the story.
Very good art (and good use of prefabs, from the looks of it). Music was pretty good too! Story made me curious, but I guess it's not quite done yet. Worth finishing!
The fact of a unfinished game is sad. But is really great job! Keep it going!
I'm sorry, but the play button doesn't work for me! I really was looking forward to playing this game. Loos gorgeous!
The graphics are stunning. I'm interested in the story. Hope you develop it further!
hey! I tried your game on Windows. Don't know why the start screen just doesn't do anything :/
I finally made it! I had to change the resolution to full hd and although the PLAY button didn't work yet, I just clicked randomly on the scrteen until the game started :-)
I loved the graphics and mood, but the character tends to get stuck in certain places. Nothing major, though. Good job!
The low poly art looks so gorgeous!
To bad is unfinished, I was interested in the story.
There's some problems like the play button not working and movement could be more fluid.
And I hope you continue to work on this, because I want to know more about this world.
the graphics as well as mood are well done and the story left me interested. I was a bit disappointed to see that there is only one dialogue... I would definitely play a completed post-compo version!
I could barely hear any audio. The controls were hard to use as she is not going where clicked. The graphics are really nice, and the concept, even if fairly usual, is nice
I've seen screenshots of this during the weekend and was eager to try it since the art is really nice.
Music is good as well. Too bad you didn't get the time to add more content. Maybe later? :)
The audio was a bit too quiet for me to really hear.
The graphics were beautiful. And it seems like the start of a great story too.
Well done!
Pretty and atmospheric, but not much content as noted. Could do with some SFX as well. I'd like to see what this could have been if it was finished.
The music is lovely, but it's a shame there's no real gameplay in it so far.
As a suggestion, you could try making it so that holding down the left mouse button makes Hope walk in the direction of the cursor. That would reduce the amount of clicking the players require.
Beautiful meditative game.
Love to see a point&click adventure on LD. :)
Strange bug when I right click on the well. Girl teleports far away and walks to the well again. The same when I right click on the stairs up. Mouse event work (and game starts) only when app is windowed...
I would like to play this cute game when it's done. :)
Very good walking system for a LD game. Character is also animated. I guess you spent too much in posihing that stuff. Anyways, good job! I would like to see the full game!
The art is absolutely gorgeous!!! Srsly. Great cohesion which really adds to the mood. Would love to see this taken further.
My Mac can't open .rar without third-party-software. Would be nicer as .dmg or .app solo.
Update: after unpacking, it seems not to run on OSX at all. It doesnt start up, no error, no exception. Just nothing.

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
The game is gorgeous, please finish it, I'd like to see what comes of it.
