A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

A tiny time-loop game (of sorts), where you replay the same 3 minutes of the day as different members of the family.

Made in 4 days for the GMTK 2025 game jam. (There is now also a post-jam version with some minor tweaks & fixes)

Can you make it browser

I think it's because I have a weak graphics card.

When I try to run it it pops up for about half a second and the crashes. ) :

Quality stuff and fun!  Has the quality and polish we are used to from Sebastian, only one real bug I ran into ... when I changed to the mum, I still had the teen's goals up on the screen.  Great stuff Sebastian!

I’m playing on MacOS, and I can’t get past the Tower of Hanoi game because the clicks don’t work right. It seems to be weirdly offset or something. First click with the yellow works right, but with the orange, I have to go far to the left, and I assume with the red it’s even further to the left, but I can’t click that far. The destination poles also seem to be offsetted or something when placing.

Ha ha, quite fun to play :D Put a smile on my face <3

That idea was so creative! And the chaotic nature of how it all turns out! I loved it!

Was a fun little game to play. Wondering why the characters couldn't have each walked in the house once they were up to be played, so that you wouldn't interract with the standing npcs? :D

came here after watching vid

How to Run Family-Time on Linux

  1. Open a terminal and go to the game folder: If you extracted the game to your Downloads folder, run: cd ~/Downloads/Family-Time

  2. Make the game file executable: chmod +x Family-Time.x86_64
  3. Run the game: ./Family-Time.x86_64

This is such a fun concept, and excellent execution, as I have come to expect from the genius that is Sebastian Lague. The chaos made me laugh, and the final level really topped it all of beautifully.

Awesome game :)

Nice!

It's amazing. BEST GAME EVER!
