This is my entry for Yaz Jam 3 (2022) https://itch.io/jam/yazjam3 There were 3 themes in this Jam and I chose "Mystery of 6174". There were also obligations: good vibes only, home-made graphic assets only, mainly yellow-green colored. I didn't totally respect the 2nd one because some of the vegetation in my game come from external free plugins. A game created by Simon Mesnard  https://linktr.ee…
