ABOUT THE GAME
Find the form of loneliness,
Unraveling from inside the picture.
"Karambola" is a short point-and-click film created by Agata Nawrot under the name Holy Pangolin. Visit the inner world of fruit friends divided by season, and advance the story by clicking lines and lights that seem to move.
LOOK, CLICK, RESPOND
When the color fades,
Look for clues that remain white.
At the beginning, a person on the beach and a device on a table appeared, and as I typed, the color of the screen faded and the next flower I touched appeared white. Changes in brightness and movement guide the next action, rather than text instructions.

Follow the changes in the picture as clues
Hover over the cursor where you can touch it and check the reaction by clicking. It's a visual-centered progression where changes in color, light, and movement indicate where to go next.
Visiting the inner world of fruit as a landscape
Save the fruit friends who are attacked by dark thoughts like birds and separated every season. Each person's loneliness and worries are expressed as a different hand-drawn scene.
Short stories that can be played with a single click
The official page states that it supports left click, touch, keyboard, and gamepad. The text focuses on the introduction and credits, and the puzzles are played without relying on words.

I checked the author's official itch.io work page and official profile, but I couldn't find any terms and conditions that explicitly guide distribution, video posting, and monetization. Unconfirmed content does not mean that it cannot be distributed, so please check with the creator if necessary.
“Unconfirmed” does not mean streaming is prohibited. We have not confirmed an official policy for the general public.
