Then and Now
A downloadable game for Windows
In Then and Now you are stuck in a time loop with a few key moments happening around you. Figure out how you can make them work in your favor so you can stop the time loop and be free! Use anything you find and see how other characters react to them!
This game is my submission to the VimJam! I made the game on unity, all of the assets (art - code - music - sound effects) are all made by me during the time of the jam (1 week)! The theme is "There and back" and the jam focus is "Collectables"!
This game has controller support!
font used: Poller One
Controls are on screen during gameplay so you don't have to memorize them, and here they are:
| Action | Keyboard | Controller |
| Move | WASD/Arrows | Left Analog |
| Interact | E | A |
| Use item | Q | X |
| Drop item | F | B |
| Switch between Items | 1,2,3,4,5 | Lb/Rb |
| Restart Loop | R | Y |
Meet, you!
Meet the protagonist of Then and Now, You!
We don't really know how you got into the loop, but everyone in the village seems to see him/her/them/you as an outsider. Some people like that about you and other don't.
Easter Egg Hunt!
I love writing and I love placing easter eggs in places people aren't expecting! (No hidden rooms though)
All of the NPCs are kicking around on a piece of ground in their home town.
If you love this kind of thing then here are two hints for you:
Talk with everyone (and anything)
Maybe people's names were intended ;)

Whoow I got out! What a cool game, love the exploration aspect in such a small title. I see you also love some good old school Metallica 😏
thank youu so much! 😄 did you get out with the best scenario? 👀 haha! yess you caught the Metallica stuff 😁 that's great!
Oh there are different end scenarios? I know I hammered somebody 😅
Cool title and banner-pic, somehow with two "play"-buttons offered when starting the game & smooth music, while that ticking with centered a black screen appearing ...sounds quite confusing in action yet? While easter-eggs sounds cool in game's bio and that this game being available as browsergame being awesome.
haha thank you! Since the game has a time loop I thought it would be funny to have the play button at the top and bottom 😁
Thank you for playing the game! I'm glad it ran well on the browser!
I like the artstyle and the music is really relaxed! good job :D
thank you! :D
