The Story of Something
Attention: there are still bugs that cannot be solved in the game. You can restart it by pressing R.
Welcome to The Story of Something!
This is the story of how something came into being. It begins with the universe descending into chaos as nothing slowly fades away, leaving only everything behind.
Everything and Nothing must work together to bring balance back.
Oh, and speaking of things going wrong… In true theme spirit, we thought nothing can go wrong... But everything went wrong in this project too!
But hey, it’s our first Game Jam, and somehow, we still managed to upload the game in last hours.
Enjoy and don`t forget to rate us ! 😄
Gameplay
This game was developed in one week with no prepared software, assets, SFX/music for Brackeys Game Jam 2025.1.
As in game jam theme "Nothing can go wrong..." our character Nothing (Black spirit) can go wrong and can go also further actually, but our second character everything (White spirit) allow only go further (only right direction).
Trick is Nothing can not so much exist without everything, therefore player should reach final with everything but in this journey nothing and everything should work together to restore the balance.

Love the art and music so much! Great work
Really enjoyed the minimalist music, really fit with the artstyle. It was a simple game but the features were fitting and the gameplay felt well rounded. It's a fantastic submission, felt like a full experience and not just a random one week project. Very impressive.
Amazing !!! So fun and super proud of such a brilliant team ! The sound effects are suberb !
Thank you :D
So nice, thank you :)

Thanks :D
Really love the mood you all have created! Great job!
Thank you :D
The atmosphere, visuals and music of the game are really impressive. I can't wait to play a more advanced version.
Thank you, we will continue to develop the game. Stay tuned :D
It's amazing that I can switch characters to reach places I couldn't go alone. But I can't quite tell what the buttons do. It's a great game anyway!
Thanks :) We updated the controls, you can play the new version if you want
I love the idea of switching between characters and worlds, and the visuals are really nice too. Just a couple of things to note: The game doesn't show correctly unless played in full screen. I found the game a little confusing in a few areas. The button things don't really seem to respond or do anything that I can tell, and the platforms are almost impossible to jump up to.
Overall though, I really dig the concept and style of the game.
Thanks for your feedback :) We've made some fixes and will continue to do so.
