Really unique concept! It was fun flying around and although I only managed to find one person to hook into I got them to go to the pier and dive off the edge, which seems to have ended the game. Not entirely sure if that was all or if there were other endings, but still pretty cool regardless. Only minor criticisms I have would be that the sky and bloom are super bright and make it difficult to see the directional keys and text when hooking into a person, and that the post-process effects felt a bit too strong to the point where it made it somewhat hard to focus/see. Great job though overall, super interesting!

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah you actually solved the game! The postprocessing and bright sky is a glitch with the web export that I didn’t manage to fix on time.

loved the concept, probably the most unique idea i have seen in this jam. I think a tutorial on the mechanics couldnt hurt since i got a bit confused over how to progess, overall tho a very strong idea with some really cool music

Very original concept, I like the thought system a lot, but didn't manage to finish. I didn't understand the objective or how to progress, but I find it intriguing

Very unique concept for a game, I would definitely keep working on it if I was you. Really solid groundwork for a great game! Awesome job!

Thanks!

This was really really cool! It was a really unique idea and I love the weird eldritch creature and the mechanic is really really cool. I like how the thoughts translate and how messy the unconscious thoughts can get! Not only that but using the whole thought system to collect items and talk to characters!

Thanks! It was certainly bit of a risk, because I didn’t know if it will work, but that’s what jams are for I think. I spent a lot of time just getting the thoughts system to work, and as you might have noticed there are still some bugs in it. I am a bit ambivalent about the thoughts getting messy. If I keep working on it, I probably want to add some way to get rid of word again.
