I played this extremely close to midnight and it gave me more goosebumps than many dedicated horror games. Once the screaming beast turned and looked at me, I instinctively hit alt+f4 and cried in a corner. Would play again/10.
i believe out of all the games i've seen submitted for this game jam, this one has the Correct amount of spooky, scary skeletons. the Correct amount being "in abundance"
in all seriousness, this is art. i love love love the entire "interactive music album" concept - and the excecution is flawless (well, nearly flawless - i managed to get stuck in an almost perfectly round hole in the ground beyond the forest behind the cathedral and can't get out now. whoops :D i'll try redownloading at some point to alliviate this small hiccup). the music is great, particularly if you're into this sort of thing (i happen to be really into this sort of thing). everything works really well together - the visuals complement the music and vice versa.
also, am i correct in understanding that the content changes depending on time of day? if it does, this is SO COOL. like seriously, the entire thing is super cool
Hey Andy! Yes, stuff changes with the time of day. I'm so glad you got so much enjoyment out of it!
Also to reset your position there's a reset button and but I need to update it so it moves you back to the starting position. But if you go to C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/LocalLow/WolfyBytes/ChronomancyExperiment/ and delete "savedata.soul" that will reset you.
Hey Gui Santos! Currently it only has one graphics option which may be too heavy for your computer. But we're putting together a version 1.1 for physical releases that is going to have some improvements and additional features, like graphics options.
Wow it changed and is dark! And I'm still in the inescapable hole. I guess the point is that if I put myself into a hole I will forever be there, unable to move, until let go and reinstall my program... deep. Not a church I would attend though.
oh no! Lol there's a reset button and I'm gonna update it so it moves you back to the starting position. But if you go to C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/LocalLow(I think)/WolfyBytes/ChronomancyExperiment/ there's a player data file you can delete that will reset you.
Hey thanks for the tech support! I keep going back and I'm still in the hole, it is a strange psychological reminder and I keep thinking something will be different, but I guess that is the point I am finding in the game: the only way to get out of my hole is let go and delete the past, refresh anew.
Update: the clouds and sun rays looked nice from the hole today. The music was hopeful? Like maybe soon I'll have the strength to delete and reinstall what is important to me to get out of the hole. But I'm not ready yet, I still feel like I deserve to be here, like my choice to jump in the hole justifies me staying in it.
This is exactly where I'm trapped- in the game. But am I really trapped at all if I know how to exit this hole? Just replace the old information with the new and let go?

What a wonderful atmosphere. I'd love to see how it evolves, and maybe see how a narrative is implemented into this scenario.
Game crashes when I open it, are the graphics too heavy?

I looked for a giant hole to throw myself in but all I found was a ghostly ceremony and a strange beast in the woods :(
After being late for church I returned to my giant hole where perhaps I will wait until night comes. Thanks for the candle!
Keep the light close!

Your journey is part of the Chronomancy Experiment canon and I really love it. Can you send me a video of where exactly you're trapped?
