How does your game fit the theme?
The game focuses on immersing you in a protagonist’s emotional journey right before the main action begins, allowing us to get to know them in a quiet moment for "The Storm" (both literal and metaphorical) begins.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
While I wrote lots of code and made lots of assets, I also used creative commons and Unity Asset Store Assets.

Too bad that this isn't longer, nor has a sword gameplay. I was really getting into it. Very cool art style.

Hope that you'll also rate mine :) https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2973690

I love unknown dark worlds in a unique style. I haven't encountered any problems or bugs, a nice and polished game, a great work that can easily turn into a cool full game.

A fantastic game about a strange world and one broken person within it. Atmosphere was dripping from the stark contrasting colors, and the narration uttered by the few handful of characters. I loved the choice to take heavy inspiration from Disco Elysium in terms of the dialogue and dialogue system. I particularly hated the skeleton man as I am sure I was meant to. He is the mocking voice of doubt and indulgence which so plagues the mind of the troubled artist we follow. I found great entertainment in trying to choose the options that may lead the protagonist away from his cruel influence.

I greatly enjoyed experiencing this game. You should be very proud for what you accomplished in a mere week.

Well done.

Nice shader, and I appreciate the amount of work put in the dialogue and story. I feel depressed after playing the game so you achieved what you wanted to do, but costed you "Fun" points :P

Loved the style and colour! It gives the story an extra kick. Great work.

The style is amazing, especially the fact that there is voice acting. I would make it so that when you select an object you can choose the dialog with arrows and not with the mouse.

The vibes of this game are so incredibly up my alley. I opened the door to go outside and saw the giant planets and just took a moment to appreciate the visuals you made. Stunning!
