How does you game fit the theme?
***SPOILER***
The story is about a guy living on his head, his wife is dead, but he doesn't want to believe it
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Everything except the music was made by me, you can find it on the game page.

At first I was like, I don't want to race this man's wife because she is floating like that is unfair hahahaha. And then the story ended with that. Though I expected the twist but still good hahaha. That wife needs some exorcism. Same as the others, the background is moving everytime I jump making me dizzy but instead, I focused on the dialogue making me forget that the background moves. Great job! :)
Thanks for the review, the background bug will get fixed soon!
The game looks and sounds good, apart from the weird behaving parallax effect which others already mentioned. I dont know all too much about story writing but this one seemed good and solid to me, knowing it was made during a game jam.
Considering it is supposed a walking simulator/story game, the controls felt suprisingly smooth. I think the squish and squash of the character sprite when jumping helped a lot with this.
Overall this is a really good submission, which i can only recommend to play, good job!
Don't worry about the parallax bug, I will fix it as soon as the voting period ends!
Thanks for playing!

NOT FUN D: WHY U DO DIS
I AM A HORRIBLE PERSON!!!
This game took me for a trip. This is just brilliant. The story...... Damn it's something. Definitely recommend everyone to play. Congrats on the amazing and brilliant submission🎉🎉
thanks!
This game is oddly disturbing in the most satisfying way possible… As strange as that sounds, it has an interesting story and some really interesting characters so I really recommend this one!
Cool game :0
Hey, couldn't review the game unfortunately because my computer resolution was smaller than the size you set the window to. Art looks nice from the previews though!
you can try the webGL version, maybe it will work?

I appreciate what you were trying to do here, personally I couldn't get through the whole thing. The art and music were nice.
Understandable, walking simulators aren't for everyone and can't be played at any time.
Appart from the buggy paralax effect the game looked and sounded really nice. At one point I sadly fell down so far that I glitched into the ground. I woukd suggest you to keep the setbacks smaller for a storygame like this. Nicely done though.
Yeah, sorry about that, someone played it on a stream and had the same bug.
Since it's a walking simulator, the game shouldn't present difficult parkour, but instead a relaxing walk, that was part of the plan, but I completely ruined it on one of the levels.
That will be fixed as soon as the voting period is over, along with the parallax & the following character flying, of course.
Thanks for playing!
I liked the graphics and atmo very much, nice submission indeed.
The music complements well the vibe and storytelling, congrats!
Great submission, I call it an experience. I enjoyed it.
Thanks!
That's exactly what I was aiming for!
This is so good. Did you take the idea from the movie shutter island. Pretty good movie. Pls check out my game as well - https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7/rate/1418152
what's that movie?
I will check it out.
my main inspiration is FireWatch, Omori & Celeste
Shutter island is a good movie in which a man couldn't believe that he killed his wife. He again and again blamed someone else. It is a 5 star movie. Very nice.
Nice Graphics
