feel free to share this with someone you know who might find it encouraging

Searching for Tillie | Global Game Jam Searching for Tillie is a short, fully voice-acted game where you follow our characters as they explore a deserted island. Who is Tillie? What will the characters encounter on this mystical adventure?...

all the models, textures, logic, sounds and music were made during the jam

most sounds were created using our own voices

developed in unreal engine and ableton live
