How to Play
You play as an “Inksmith”, a god of words. You have to travel and jump between different timelines and characters to get certain key phrases. You choose which key phrases to give the characters to help them resolve whatever writing dilemmas they are stuck on. After solving all four timelines, you win the game.
🔨How we built it
I set up the game ui and mechanics in RenPy, coded all the timetravel, timeline, notebook, inkbar mechanics in Python. Janice did an amazing job on the dialogue and character development.
