About This Game

Some things are returned. Some things remain.

14 November 1987, Datça. You are the clerk at the harbour's left-luggage counter. Umbrellas, keys, cassette tapes, things nobody ever came back for… Each one has an owner and a story.

Your own story sits in the desk drawer: a postcard Elif gave you years ago, with a single line on the back: "Someday, together." In 1980, Elif simply didn't show up. No goodbye, no word. Seven years have passed.

By day: the counter is yours

• Compare the claim ticket, the item and the ledger. Does the serial number match? Is this person allowed to collect it?
• Ask questions, make a phone call, look closer. Every visitor has a reason, and not all of them are telling the truth.
• Decide who gets the item, who has to wait and who leaves empty-handed. A wrongly released item never comes back.
• Get by on one wallet: rent, meals and heating fuel all come out of your wage.

By night: dreams that regain their colour

When the shift ends, you dream. In short hand-drawn platforming nights you chase Elif along a crayon coastline: climb crates and shelves, cross on paper boats, dodge falling loads. The closer you get, the more colour returns to the world. Reach her, and the dream leaves a clue for the morning.

Elif's trail

A name, a bird sticker, a day someone remembers… Compare an old tape's date with photographs and lay letters from 1980 side by side. An old address may not point to today's door. Every lira you spend on calls and research comes out of the same wallet.

Good to know

The counter is played at your own pace. The dream nights are short platforming sections that ask for a little timing.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

The game's story and scene illustrations (the opening story, town news, photographs, and ending scenes) were created using generative AI tools, then selected, edited, and placed into the game by hand. The cover art on the store page was also made from these images. The game does not generate any content with AI during gameplay; everything you see was prepared in advance. The story, game design, user interface, and all other content were written and designed by the developer.
