A Cardboard Town - Browser Version

This is the browser version of my RPG Maker game jam game! The download version is here. I realized after submitting that I could make a browser version for this, so here it is! I will probably add this to the original game post once the jam is over and the files are not locked. 

Warning: You must play the game in one go! The save function does not work once closing the game. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. If there's a part you need to skip through because you've seen it already, hold down the z button. I have been told the game lasts about 20-30 min.

Warning 2: In the part where Mikhail is searching for clues in his room, check the bed the same way you go to sleep the day before (face the bed from the side and interact). I have been informed that there's a bug when searching for clues in the room where you can't progress that a few people have gotten, but others have not. I genuinely cannot figure out why this is happening, but I have been told that reloading an earlier save can fix the problem. Do this by pressing x to open the menu, exiting the game to the title screen, pressing continue and load the autosave. After that, try checking the bed again. I would appreciate feedback on if this bug occurred for more people, and if they were able to solve it. Thank you for your patience!

About

This game was made for the RPG Maker 2025 Game Jam. Credits are in the game, but I want to give special thanks to @adexia for playtesting! Edit: For some reason the credits in the game do not show this, but piano recordings were from classicals.de and musopen.
