?????????? I LIKE I

Good, short experience with some easy puzzles and scary vibe.

A very cool experience. Got me to crack out a piece of paper as I played the game! As a big aficionado of weird little totems and effigies I really appreciated the one in this game.

Such a unique art style paired with great ambience and fun gameplay, felt like a real archeologist trying to decipher the runes!

I love games like these - Having to search for specific words to get more information always makes me super happy.

The artstyle is amazing.

I love everything about it and I want more.

Great entry!

Love the graphics & concept! Nice lovecraftian mood

This is soooooo cool, the style, the vibes. Investigating the artifact was very cool. I got stuck on the runes for a bit as some of the symbols were similar. Really enjoyed having so much time to interact with this strange artifact and unleashing something... Very cool

Very great job! Your visual style is so cool I’m envious! How do you manage it? Is it actual stop motion with an alpha mask so you can play it and still have a background?

In any case, super fun and unique!

Hey thank you, yes I took photos of a little clay sculpture I made from all angles, then had to erase the background on all frames by hand. I left its real reflection and shadow though, so thats all from the original photos.

Very cool! Very labor intensive too I’d imagine, but those results are definitely worth it! Thank you for explaining your process :)

I love your art style and you've come up with a really cool concept.

It was a pleasure being in the same game jam as you well done!
