The game itself was very pleasing to look at and did give a creepy atmospheric vibe(i like the blue screen computer lowkey that would scare me most irl lol) I could not for the life of me get past the minigame but thats just a skill issue on my part even after reading the notes(i will maybe try and do so at a later date)

Maximum aberrant! Game felt super polished and nailed the atmosphere with the abstract setting. I really liked the occlusion-spawn-in/out mechanic. The calm down minigame was really well done too. Need to recalibrate my rating-o-meter.

That was awesome! The cinematics, sound effects, and atmosphere are very well done. The only suggestion I would have is to make it more clear you have to keep looking around the shelf, because once I saw nothing on it, I thought that I needed to find something in the dark, and it took me a while to notice the milk.

I really liked the little 2D minigame. It feels really satisfying when you get some speed and do these big jumps. The ending of the game is great. I didn't expect that at all and it surprised me in a very good way. Well done!

The graphics and animation were top notch. Brilliant little story as well. I did get stuck in the minigame, but reading the tips on the Game Page, helped me out.  Great Game !

man i suck at controlling my anxiety xd.

wow, this was really polished and well-crafted! you really nailed creating an unsettling atmosphere that compliments our unreliable narrator/main character's struggles, its very nice! the cutscenes are so well animated, the slow nature of all the movements creates a nice level of anxiety to each motion! the choice of portraying the environment through selective pieces of objects and people in the room really works out well here! it both functions as a way to composite scenes in both an easy to understand way (which helps maintain the flow/pace of the story) and allowed you to create some really nice narrative transitions as well (notably after you look at the fridge and when you go through the product shelf), really great stuff! there's just a lot of really good visual ideas and direction here, from the use of post processing to shift the tone, the flickering moments, and even the change in UI bubbles, all of it culminates together to create an engaging and immersive story!

im not sure if it was a skill issue here on my part, but the anxiety minigame was pretty hard for me xd. kind of reminds of Tiny Wings, an old mobile game, though the hills/slopes are smaller here making the window for successfully sloping down pretty tight. though gravity feels lighter than that game, so it takes less time to gain height, but still took me a couple of tries before i can get it, glad i did though because the conclusion was worth it! also one last nitpick, very minor, i read the vibe of the main character as someone who feels a little delirious and loopy, which shows in a lot of the cutscenes where their head and body motions are slow, but the head bob while walking was pretty fast and rapid which made the vibe feel more fidgety instead, which is a slight difference but noticeable (an example of this is in the top right gif where you're collecting the milk). slower head bobs may have matched the character's mental state a bit more, but this is just an opinion and small nitpick, the overall vibe is still excellently captured in the of the game!

this was an incredibly told and directed story! i can feel the amount of thought and effort that came to creating this, great work!

Very nice visuals and animation. Nice little story. The minigame was very confusing, so I had to go to the main page to check what was missing. Also very creepy and nice usage of audio and lights. The change between what was remembered and what really happened was very well implemented.

Great job with the visual effects and the overall presentation, it was chilling watching things shift and walking through the darkness to different patches of light. The game with the hills reminded me of this old game Tiny Wings I used to play all the time!

This is great! I don't know how it happened that I left the shelf and I kept walking and when I turned back it was gone. I was stuck in eternal darkness but I restarted and played the game normally.

Wow. Just wow. But frankly I only guessed that I need to fly high after looking at screenshots. It's said : follow the flow. So I thought I needed to follow the line as closely as possible.

Very nice game. I wonder why cashier girl calls player a monster, is it a reference to A Clockwork Orange?  After beating the second stage I can see why,  only monster can beat the game;) Felt so hungry after play, need to buy some milk now.

The moral of the story is: "Always keep the track of food in the fridge, while working from home" :D

Cool game. SFX and animations is on level, but I personally missed some sound feedback from text. But I guess, I'm also got that part wrong in my game :\

This game is really interesting! The story was quite intriguing, and the atmosphere was cool! When I got to the velocity ball section, I had an issue: It was too easy to kill all of my velocity from slightly mistiming it. I think it would be nice if there was a bit more leeway to it :) The graphics are well done, especially with how everything looks like it's in a spotlight. Overall, this game, being a short experience, has well-done graphics and atmosphere, with a story properly tying it together, although it can be a bit punishing in one section. Nice Work!

I like how I can admire fridge from afar!

Amazing work on this! Really liked how you used the effects at your disposal to make it all feel progressively weird! I also failed victim to the mini game... I guess you click or press space to change direction of the ball? Managed a few nice jumps but then got in the valleys that took 30-40 seconds to build momentum.

an amazing game. Intuitive in use and that maintains the player's interest until the end.

An easy and enjoyable piece of game you have here. it's complacent because it doesn't expect much of the player else than following the hints.  But the turnaround that happens at the end, is a great twist,  a nice aberrative ending to an aberrant game! i loved the minigame for following the flow. it's well made. and it perfectly conveys I think your idea. I enjoyed it!

Made me want to play Minecraft again haha, It has a lot of charm, i enjoyed the animations, sounds, and story telling a great game.

The only issue I had was the minigame that you need to do to breath in and out it ended up making me get annoyed, cause I couldn't finish it. but after I finished the minigame it a was fun game, maybe work on the minigame to make abut more fun or even not as long. but overall a great fun little cube-style game. I enjoyed everything in it, story dialog, animations the walking animations and sound we NOICE :D

great job :D

First of all I want to congratulate you, it is absolutely a good product that is quick to enjoy, which perfectly succeeds in the intention of creating discomfort but at the same time wanting to understand the story and where it wants to go. The game works very well from a narrative point of view and I think that by expanding it a little and better exploring some of its features, a good project could emerge.

The only negative note is the actual "gameplay" part, this gameplay which is reminiscent of Tiny Wings needs to be revised a bit, in itself it works, but the absence of feedback makes it all a bit frustrating in the long run, especially given that It's a part you have to get through, and it might take a little too long.

For the rest, I highly recommend the product, it is very beautiful, looks good and has excellent potential.

I like the animations and art you made in the earlier half. Not sure if it was just me, but I had no sound, and I feel sound would've done wonders here. As others have mentioned, the ball game wasn't as intuitive as it should've been, but very nice job overall.

I feel like the art style is not fit for this game but it is very original!

I really like the analogy to schizophrenia/depression/low self-esteem that you gave to the game, and the truth is that the ball minigame is very satisfying once you master it.
