Sugar in Shadows (Jam Version)
The Game
It's Halloween night, and while the other kids head out in scary costumes for a round of trick or treating, you decide on something a little different....
You’ve saved up your pocket money for a big box of treats from the local bakery, and head out to share them with the neighbours who might need a friendly visit.
As you wander through the village, you listen to their stories, and offer treats that might bring a little warmth to the shadows we all carry.
How to Play
You start in your village, you can go to your house to collect a basket of treats any time. Once you have some treats, visit the residents to find out a little bit about them and you can gift them your treats to help them feel better. You can go back to the village using the icon in the top right corner of the screen.
Dev Status (Unfinished!)
Sadly I did not get time to finish the game by the deadline. It is vaguely playable but there's a nasty bug that wipes out your progress when you go back to the village scene! There's no win or lose condition yet, you can play a card to yourself but it has no effect at the moment and the card cost is also not yet implemented!

I think a little secret should be where if you eat your own candy, the entire town just gangs up on you
haha interesting idea! Would certainly be a twist but perhaps not really fitting for the uplifting vibe lol!
