Without a doubt the best game by far, absolutely breathtaking atmosphere, stunning graphics and music, reminds me of hollow knight. Well done
Hollow Knight is my all time favorite game, so i cannot get any happier when i hear that my game reminded you of the masterpiece which is Hollow Knight. Thank you so much!!!
One of the best entries I've played.
Art and animation are stellar. Everything is well done, the place looks alive and conveys the dark mood.
Character controller is almost perfect. The only thing I found lacking was the absence of grace jump, so if the player is at the very edge of a platform, he doesn't register as grounded. Not brilliant for areas with precision jumping. But, given the slow pace of the locomotion and the immediate and close by restarts, this wasn't a big problem at all.
Combat was surprisingly engaging, perhaps slightly weakened by the instantaneous and infinite respawns.
I think the theme has been explored effectively and on multiple layers of depth. The Death cave and the Purity cave, the deliberate misdirection, the fact that you don't know you can shoot until later, which informs New Game +, the fact that you can kill NPCs and destroy pickups really made this shine.
Audio was solid as well, with great music that set the tone and informative and fitting SFX.
Very well done.
First of all, thank you so much for this in-depth comment! It really means a lot to us to see someone investing time and putting effort into discovering all the little secrets and hidden meanings of the game.
Secondly, we of course appreciate the constructive feedback regarding the grace jump. We will definitely fix that and update the game after the jam ends and make sure that we focus more on polishing character controls for the future games.
Nice soundtrack too. follow this guy on soundcloud , it's an advice.
Cool game, good job

That's strange I swore I rated and commented this game because this game is a very well made game. Oh well let me write it up again. This is one of the best, well polished and fun game play out in the game jam. I enjoyed it so much. The visuals is simply the best. This game reminds me of Ori and the Blind Forest.
Yeah you wrote the comment on the game page and not here. We are really glad that someone compared our game to the masterpiece which is Ori and the Blind Forest :). Thanks so much man we really appreciate it!
Ah I see. I am new to itch so I thought the comments are shared everywhere. Thanks for the confusion.
great game :]

Already tried it, rated it and liked it.
You can link your game, but can you please avoid putting images like this on the comment section of a specific game, as it kinda comes off as a dick move to market your game :).
alright sorry, didn't mean to be annoying. the game is sick though! :]
The game art is amazing as well as the audio. really professional looking!
Really loved this entry! Probably the best in my opinion. I didn't finish it yet, but I keep it in order to play it a bit more. Really great ^^
Great game! I love the atmosphere in it and the art is in a league of it's own! Well done!
