How does you game fit the theme?
I wanted to translate the "You are not alone" theme to the standpoint of the transition to death. We all fear to die alone, Epitome is a surreal game that spins on the idea we don't die alone and we shouldn't think we will die alone as we don't know what is after death. Something will wait for us, and we won't be alone.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I have made the models, animations, Music, Materials, textures, set pieces, levels, programming (Using blueprints in UE4), Sound Design, Levels, Voice Acting and all except for the fonts, reticle, a glass material provided by the engine, and a particle FX Pack (All credits are referenced in the game).

I played it on stream! Clearly a beautiful game ! sadly i was very confused over what to do, might give it another try but couldnt do anything with the tomb.

Pressing "Q" shows the notes tab. There is instructions on what to do, how to play and the weapon mechanics. You obtain the firsts note on the mannequin which tells you to shoot the coffin and info about the notes menu. When out of ammo you reload the weapon to get ammo, you can only reload to get ammo when you have no ammo left. It is a last resort option. Hope this helps!

I had figured this, the coffin is what got me, although i'll give it another try

ohh sorry, for the coffin you keep shooting at it till it transitions you to the next level. You will hear some cracking sounds coming from the coffin when you damage it. These sounds won’t emit every time you shoot it but you will hear it with every few shots or so
