Backstory:
This is my (Mateo) first 3D game, and Jaiden's first game jam, we had a blast making it. The idea changed a lot along the way, we started out with an ambitious 3D adventure puzzle game with plans of a full story, voice acting, and animated characters. Once reality set in that we only had 4 days, we scaled things down and ended up with what you see here. We're really proud of what we built in that time. If you read this far, thanks for playing, and for sticking around! 😄
