How does your game fit the theme?
You play as a member of a special police unit that uses 'Psycho-link' — a peculiar device that can breach a person's subconsious and extract memories.
Players are 'diving' deeper and deeper into a convict's mind.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Code and art were made by me.
I didn't make music, sound fx and UI icons (I coded and designed the UI though).

I love the art style!
This game's art style is very striking! I think there's an interesting story to be told here but there isn't much to it besides the intro. There is some interesting puzzle design too, but the slow movement makes it somewhat tedious imo. Overall, I love the art direction in this game - it is very stellar!
I love the atmosphere, art and audio, can't wait to see more of your work on this game or new ones. I just find a little annoying that death restarts all the progress. But great work!
Could you try our game too? It's a 2d platformer, and it was our second game jam and one of our first games so far! Your feedback would be really appreciated!
The idea, art, and writing are all really well done. The slow walking was painful. The only issue I really had with the game was that it was aggravating to make a mistake and then have everything be completely restarted, which was a very slow process to go through.

i LOVE this concept, and the sound design & art are also really really good. i adore the writing too, it's beautiful!!
unfortunately, i got stuck in the very first level, i couldn't figure out what to do to unlock the gateway :( i tried pressing W to put the intro-level energy into one of the statues, but it didn't work..?
but despite not getting through much, this is my favorite game from the jam so far!! good jobb :D
great game and awesome graphics!
brilliant graphics, like the puzzles, very well polished game, the only thing missing is MORE content. Great job!
Perhaps you could try out my game as well?
I'm so into the vibe here. The puzzle mechanics are really interesting, though in my typical genius fashion I managed to softlock myself almost immediately.
uh oh is there a bug?
Amazing concept for a puzzle game and I am really excited for more of this :D
For a tutorial level though, you should maybe put some objects closer together for less walking time, aswell as better explaining to the player what Intro- and Extra-Keys distinct purpose is. Your English felt totally natural :D
thanks for the feedback!
Was a bit confused about what to do in the game, but i really like the art of this game!
Unique art, really loved it. And I am pretty impressed by the amount of work you've put into storytelling, got quite a laugh :D Well done
I love this game! The art style is just so on point, and the sound design too. Gameplay is fun and creative, one of the best games I've played so far. Hmu if you ever need a narrative designer! :)
thank you so much!
Took a while for me to figure out there was another energy ball to grab on the left to get past the force field. The way the jump animation moves the character's legs to the side made me think I was going to drop in the hole every time.
it should take a while, hehe
as to animations - yeah, they definetely need to be improved. thanks for the feedback!
The presentation here is magnificent. I really liked how you could read the story and do the gameplay at the same time, and progress through both without waiting, great feature. One thing I would say is that walking can be kind of slow, and a sprint button could make backtracking and exploring more engaging. Great work!
thank you! yeah, i realised that the walking speed is kinda slow only now. well, a lot of mistakes will be fixed with updates, after the jam ends, heh
That's a good concept and the ambiance is perfect. The art is beautiful.
thank you!!
The graphics are absolutely amazing! Fits the theme really well too.
thanks!
The concept is really amazing, the graphics and mood are great and looks really professional. At first I didn't understand the beacon mechanic. Really creative aproach at the theme, congrats.
thank you so much!
Very cool game. It's just a shame that it's this short
thanks! i plan to finish it after the jam, so it’ll be longer
Great game! I like the way how it looks and the idea behind it is pretty cool :)
aww thank you so much!!
