Damn, that was really cool! While at first the game felt kind of directionless, I figured out that that's the point of the game. Just free roam around and listen to the spirits emit their songs. It was actually really peaceful once I realized the point of the game isn't to win, but just to chill.
This game was amazing! I loved the graphics and especially the music! A very peaceful tone and relaxing atmosphere left me very pleased after playing! I think at some points it was hard for me to see anything, but it may or may not be intended. Either way, great job!
This was very special! I went all over the place listening to the music! I couldn't crack the case though, but find my video review: 1:22:00 Return Tape

:O amazing game man!! graphics are impressive and beautiful! great job!
I love it when a game just starts without telling me anything and let me explore it. The scene where the spirits meets with the lake gave me the 'wow' factor. I'd also love to interact and/or have a connection with the spirits' journey. Even a small simple mechanic would take this game very far. Maybe when I interact with the spirits, they could share some of their light with me so I could use to explore afar. Overall, the atmosphere and the sounds are very pleasing!
I played this yesterday at 3am. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for some jumpscare or something like this. Then I fell on the lake and had a micro freak out as I couldn't get out of there. Then I started to hear the relaxing music of some of the ghosts and laughed of myself as I realised this was a peaceful game.
10/10 would have amnesia and play it again
I enjoyed the environment design and use of lighting. Pleasant, relaxing, and the ghosts sound real cool. Occasionally the mouse look would spin me at different speeds. Nice work!
Nicely done! Strong atmosphere and sound, pretty environment, and I learned about something new.
Hello! Thank you for making this experience! It was really relaxing to wander the island and search for this musical ghosts :D I also enjoyed waiting for the ghosts to come near each other so that I could hear two songs simultaneously. It would be really cool if the ghosts also interacted a little bit with the player. If one ghost would be interested by the player and follow them around a bit, whereas another ghost would try to run away. I think this could give them even more personality. Just an idea I had though :)
Maybe one point, for me the game was quite dark, so a brightness slider or something similar could be nice I think ^^
Good job on the game!
