Really beautiful game! I enjoyed the narrative. Overall, everything is really great. Well done!
We're glad you liked it! Thanks for playing!
The background art is pretty! It's fun. I'm looking forward to it
Thanks for playing the game!
Loved the art style and music! Enjoyed playing it. Thank you for your submission ^^
We're glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing!
had fun trying to work out the second ending, though it took me a while to realise what i had to do. art style is really cute too. thanks!
I'm glad you were able to figure it out, and thanks for giving the game a fair shot!
Really enjoyed this one. Great concept and storytelling and nice a art style.
We're glad you liked it! Thanks for playing.
Nice game, plays very well. There is a bug though, the first time I got into the lighthouse to activate the fuses the character for stuck at the door and I had to refresh the page, no way to get it out of there.
Thanks for checking out the game! The bug is only present on the web build, as it is laggier than the normal build of the game. If you are able to, I recommend downloading the game for the smoothest experience.
Loved the visuals and sound components, and the actual gameplay was also interesting. I don't know how to get the other endings though. I might just not be looking hard enough but damn they are cryptic. The only other gripe was that full screen made the camera bug out and made me confused for a good 5 minutes haha. It makes the camera not go up in the tree area. Fantastic work though that was a really polished experience.
For the other ending, you kinda have to.. think outside the box. Are the objectives always necessary? I'll leave a mystery for you to figure it out. Also the camera bug might be only present in the web build, which is laggier than the normal build of the game. Thanks for playing the game, and thanks for your feedback!
Nice game! Loved the graphics
Thank you for the compliments! Thanks checking out the game!
Very impressive entry, I really liked the sound design :)
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked the sound design!
Pretty good story game; I like how you can achieve multiple endings. The reveal of what happened to Mr. Riley's grandpa was also not what I expected. My criticisms are:
Still a pretty solid game!
Thanks for playing the game! The Interact key was written the game's description (due to time constraints we couldn't add it in the game).
True, the items thingy is kinda inconvenient, but we couldn't have added more stuff that would explain it (once again, due to time constraints).
Awesome game! I liked it especially with the multiple ending but in Game if you could have shown the control key then I would not have to press random key to find out for the appropriate action
We're sorry for the confusion. In hindsight, yes, we should've told the player in game. We wrote instructions in the game description though!
There seems to be so much to explore! love it and so polished!
Thanks for playing the game! We appreciate it
Loved the pixel-art style and it felt very smooth on the controls - this seems really fleshed out and polished! Nicely done!
We're glad you liked it! Thanks for playing!
The polish is just wow! Great game!
We're glad you liked it! Thanks for playing our game.
Stunning environment art but can’t say the same for gameplay. Why is the player so painfully slow. Most of the time it felt like I was going from place to place doing chores. And I lost for some reason no idea why(maybe I should have read all those dialogues).
The game revolves more around lore rather than gameplay. You haven't really "lost"; this is one of 2 endings in the game. I suggest you read the text and understand the lore, and figure out the puzzle and find the second ending for a better gameplay experience.
those shaders are ✨
Thank You for the comment! We are happy that you liked it
Wow unbelivable! Amazing art and atmosfear to the game!
Thank you for the feedback!
Love the art style, and there is a real nice amount of polish here. Thoroughly enjoyed, great submission :)
Hey! Thank you for commenting. We really appreciate your feedback
Cool idea, the art is really nice too.
I got the bad ending haha but like that there's multiple options, feels like a deep story. Nice one!!
We are glad that you enjoyed! Feel free to find the remaining ending
👀
This game is worth playing, it has a very beautifull art and a good story, i only did one ending but it has many...
Thank you for the nice comments! We are happy that you enjoyed. The game has 2 endings so feel free to discover the last one haha
