Moving In and Moving On

What's going on with the manor on 400 Ulme Lane? Play as Daena and find out! Explore the grounds, conduct a seance, and figure out the mysteries preventing the former inhabitants from moving on.

How to Play:

• Use the arrow keys or WASD to move Daena around.
• Press SPACE or ENTER to advance dialogue and to interact.
• Press ESC to view or exit out of your journal and conversation log. 
• Cleaning messes up takes two shots to register on the first mess.
• Player should no longer get stuck on oboe - however, text may still write over itself multiple times.
• UPDATE: Hotfix for oboe bug also enabled speedrunning. SPEEDRUNNING IS NOW SUPPORTED

Changelog:

• v1.0 = initial LD Jam submission
• v1.1 = changes to text descriptions on LDJam.com and Itch.io - updating software/tools used
• v1.2 = added changelog, hotfix for oboe bug
• v1.3 = Oh so many bug fixes
  • journals can no longer be opened in dialogue, this used to cause the game to crash
  • after opening journal, if you press space you can look through the journal entries. these are actually working now and properly paginated (this wasn't working before, it was just borked). In rare cases this could cause the game to crash.
  • fixed a bunch of journal entries that weren't getting added properly.
  • fixed a game breaking bug in the music room where playing the lute would freeze you there FOREVER.
