Hi everyone!

I decided to take part in the “Wild Minnow” game jam just for fun. I don’t really care about ranking or placement, I mostly joined out of curiosity and to make a small finished project.

My game is called “The Hare’s Word”. It’s a short narrative choice game inspired by a fairy tale about a hare who promised a wolf he would return by a certain time.

The gameplay is built around cards and binary choices: you drag a card left or right, make a decision, and try to reach one of several endings. Your choices affect time, conscience, courage, and strength. If you unlock a good ending for the hare, you can also open the wolf’s story. That part is still rough, but already playable and has several endings too.

It was a fun story but my body gave out pretty soon, I guess there is no point in being a righteous hare 😅  
Also, here a line break could help:

Good luck with the jam 🙂

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I haven’t tested the English version enough.
