GN! Online Game Jam #2: - "Sad Games"

"A short story bridging the gap between two great folk songs of the sea."

Instead of relying on cheap jokes like usual, I wanted to go all in and create something personal and sincere. I hope the feeling is conveyed through this experience and appeals to you as well.

The songs in this game were originally traditional folk songs, but I made my own versions of them from scratch during this jam with Reason 10.
("Bonnie Ship The Diamond" & "The Fisherman's Song")

The ambient sounds were CC0 assets from freesound.org.
Some editing was done in Audacity.

Pictures used were CC0 images from pexels.com.
Some editing was done in GIMP 2.
