Solstice in Heaven
A downloadable interactive experience
In Solstice in Heaven, follow the intense week of two game developers, Winter Inverno and Summer Estate, who find themselves in a vacation completing a project for Heavenly Game Jam #6. Through deep conversations, moments of reflection, creative challenges, and nonsense banter, the two characters explore themes of creative passion, isolation, personal growth, and the meaning of friendship.
The game mixes elements of narrative adventure, turn-based role-playing, and puzzle-solving, with emotional dialogues, but also the chance to watch a game grow and try it out step by step, with even opportunities to modify it through purposeful choices. As they complete their creation, Winter and Summer face their own insecurities and fears about the future, trying to figure out how to build a life outside of work and daily pressures.
The game has been created to be an original experiment that allows people to receive a nice message that they will remember for a long time by putting a lot of my own into the game. A good experience to remember and one that can make people smile and improve themselves. The game takes 20 to 40 minutes, it's in Italian and English.

The game tells the story of two very charming characters, Winter and Summer, who initially seem to be just an introduction to the game, but then you discover that they are actually the main characters. The initial impression that makes you think they're simply cute is gradually replaced by the short but intense story of the two protagonists. There are also very deep scenes that, in the end, make you see the game from a different perspective.
So no, this isn't a game with technical mechanics or a traditional story—it's a game with deeper content where anyone might see themselves in Summer or Winter (or perhaps both).
Very beautiful and profound, it definitely deserves further development on the story side to better convey what it wants to communicate, and the two protagonists still have a lot to say.
Congratulations, great project 👏👏👏
