wish there was more! So much potential but as just a little experience it works. Like how you interpreted the theme and the art, though I think it would had been nice if the art reflected it being a guidebook more. Like make the game world be pages or something. No real complaints, just needed a bit extra

- Loved this game. A very creative concept and use of the theme. The art is also extremally well done. My only critiques are small things I think could elevate the game a lot. I think the visual theming of the game being an instruction booklet could be a little more prominent. Other than the words and page numbers, it's pretty easy to forget you're supposed to be playing a booklet as you go. Some kind of paper texture overlay or formatting levels more like a book would have gone a long way to cementing that. I also wish the game was just a little longer to more explore the mechanics. Right now it's basically a tutorial to prepare you to solve one puzzle and then it's over. Overall though, great game. It has real potential to be fleshed out into a larger experience
- I'm such a good Soujourner player ! Cool art style. The idea is really cool ! Could've had a bit more levels, but a cool idea well executed.
Did you work alone, or as part of a group? (If in a group, list their names)
Worked with the man the myth the environmental contaminant Art Man Oil!
