I tried to make this game in 24hours, but it ended up taking twice as long - I'm pretty slow at creating art assets, as I'm still quite new to that. I would've liked another 48 hours to work on polishing the story and the presentation some more, but I thought I'd better not break the rules too much - I've not got disqualified from a jam yet and I aim to keep it that way!

Notes - you don't have to read this bit, it might be of interest after playing through or for people who played my last game 'For Ambergris' -
This is set in the same universe as another game, For Ambergris, but you can play this stand-alone. Chronologically this game takes place after the events of For Ambergris. The choices made in For Ambergris can affect the ending of Void Id - depending on how many times you played For Ambergris - or something like that - otherwise there is 1 ending you can get.
Android version for the sideloaders: http://www.mediafire.com/download/orue4 ... elease.apk
(Please let me know if you want this on the play store - it can be done!)
Install instructions
First unzip and then run "Void Id.exe"
You may need to look at the 'more' or 'advanced' options if your operating system or anti-virus filter prevent you from saving or running the files.
The game was coded by myself using the ren'py engine, so I know there are no viruses etc.

Android - If you're not familiar with sideloading apps then you may wish to first have a look online for the process so that you understand it before trying to install on your device.

I always welcome any feedback (positive or negative).
I find Itch.io a good place to upload my games, but I can also upload to other places if anybody wants me to then please let me know!
