Nice work with the artstyle! Really liked the game, it was fun to play.
It took me a while to get the controls, but I read the page! This is probably the most creative one I've seen so far.
the art looks really good and artistic. but the controls were a bit slow for me.
Hey!
First of all, congrats for finishing the game! I really love the visuals, really artistic. It was a little bit hard to understand what am I supposed to do at first so I had to read the game page. I think an in game tutorial would be great. Nonetheless, it was fun playing it, you did a really good job!
Wow! This game was so beautiful and fun to play! Great work!
Very aesthetically pleasing game! Really enjoyed the art style. As far as gameplay go I think there are some improvements that could be made for the focusing mechanic. It was a little difficult to tell whether the focusing was done on the whole screen, or on the mouse, or near the character. Perhaps making it so you have some sort of magnifying glass or focused blur effect at the mouse pointer could make it more clear what exactly is being focused on. I think this could make fighting the enemies more interesting as well. All in all though it was interesting to find all the hidden bits and beat the levels. Well done!
The graphics are super cool, but I don't think the controls worked for me.
yeah, its possible there is sometimes a glitch that makes pressing f not do anything, if after holding f you can see an effect then its working if you dont see it then it doesn't. If it works and you are not sure what to do you have to have your mouse over an object in the background and then hold f for a few seconds, that should activate the object
Had to read one of the comments to realize the focus needed to be aimed at a specific thing in the first level, but once I figured that out it was very cool! I liked using the focus to reveal things/damage them :)
Very good artstyle and an interesting mechanic, had a bit of troble figuring out the mechanics but it was fun once I got it!
Keep it up!
Loved the artsyle and cool mechanic! Played at https://twitch.tv/hedgein , thanks for watching! <3
Hi. Cool idea about hidden nightmares in background and very good design. But on the start it's hard to understand what to do.
The arts are just so great and creative! It's a bit quiet though and the monsters scared me a bit xp
I tried so hard to get this to work even using the 'hold for a half second' stuff. Alas..

Point me in the right direction and maybe ill try it again.
Oh that sucks man, ive watched the steam VOD and it clearly doesnt work because there should be a visual effect triggering when you hold f and its not, it has to be some input problem then, its very interesting why it doesnt work because it works for most of the people i will have see why its happening. Thanks a lot for trying!
Amazing game! great art! well done!
it took me a while to undertand the mecanic but i enjoyed the game, the art work is phenomenal!
Man the art style blew me away. Very impressive. And such a creative idea on making the walls come to life when you focus on them I actually gasped when it first happened. The controls took a bit of getting used to especially since it was trial and error on how the focus skill worked. Also, it would have been a nice indication if I saw the area/radius the mouse was covering. That being said, it's a stunning game.
Thanks for the really good feedback!
The visuals are phenomenal just love it
Incredible visuals. I really like that every stages background is handcrafted. Including the traps which just blended in the background and caught me off guard more than once. Really cool!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CONTROLS: To activate objects from the background you have to have your mouse over the object that you want to activate and hold "F" over them for about half a second
I love the art style, especially with how the spikes blend in with the background.
I can't get past the first screen though. I've tried hitting F and E on every square inch of the map, but nothing is happening. I've tried skipping the pickup but the door just won't open no matter what I do.
Let me know if I'm doing something wrong and I'll come back and try again.
