「愛と赦しの物語」がテーマとなる本作はインディーゲームクリエイター・Yona氏のデビュー作となります。

日本では珍しいクリスチャンで牧師の家庭に育ったというバックグラウンドに裏打ちされた確固たる世界観とメッセージ性は、ほかの作品にはない独特な魅力を醸し出しています。

影絵を思わせる可愛らしいキャラクターデザインと、シーンに応じて流れる上質な音楽もお楽しみください。

そして、ほどよい難度の謎解きを楽しみながら主人公・オリーの物語を追体験し、涙してください。

"A story of love and forgiveness" is the theme of this game, the debut work of indie game creator Yona.

The solid worldview and message influenced by his background as a Christian who grew up in a pastor's family, which is rare in Japan, create a unique appeal that cannot be found in other works.

Please enjoy the cute character designs reminiscent of shadow puppets, and the high-quality music accompanying each scene.

And, while enjoying the moderately difficult problem-solving, relive the story of the main character, Ollie, that will move you to tears.

＜ストーリー/Story＞

学校も、友達も、お父さんも、お母さんも…。全てが少年オリーを追い詰める。不安と孤独が彼を飲み込む日々。だが、ある時オリーに一筋の光が与えられる。それは時計職人ジョセフとの出会い。彼の物語がオリーを救う手がかりとなる。お父さんは今どこにいて、天国とは果たしてどんな場所なのか。ジョセフの言葉がオリーの心を揺さぶり、希望の道を見つけはじめる。しかし、ジョセフとは一体何者なのか…。その謎めいた人物との出会いが、オリーを翻弄し続ける。果たして、オリーはどのような結末にたどり着くのか。

He has heard his whispers. Nobody is left out of God's plan.

Everything around him is driving Olly into a corner. School, friends, even Mom and Dad. Olly's days are filled with feelings of isolation and loneliness.

However, one day a ray of hope appeared for Olly in the form of the clockmaker Joseph.

His stories meant a great deal to Olly. He told him where his father is, what kind of place Heaven is.

Joseph's words enrapture Olly. They give him hope. Still, who really is Joseph?

This enigmatic figure has Olly under his thumb. Where will Olly’s path ultimately lead him?

とにかくゲームを作ること自体が好きな人間です。

『In His Time』というタイトルでようやく完成できそうなところまできたことが、なによりうれしいです！

ぜひ体験版を遊んでみてください！

As a game developer, I truly enjoy the process of creating games. It brings me great joy to announce that I have finally completed the game "In His Time"! Please try the demo version!

If you're interested in my game as a Christian game, I am grateful. I am creating the game with my small faith, and I pray every day that God will help me make it to the level you expect. While I am uncertain whether I can meet your expectations, I trust that God will guide me to create a good game.

I always want to dedicate my work to God, and my hope is to create more and more works that will please Him. If you could support me and spread the word about this game in your faith community, it would be greatly appreciated. My desire is that it will reach those who need it and bring them joy.
