No doubts 5 stars game!!

for me the ambiance is astonishing. I LOVE narrative stories, and I felt immediately in love with this one too. The Ants ecosystem is so well retranscripted and by so in such original way, I couldn't stop playing.  

Hats down for the narration style, art style and music. 

It deserves to be on steam imo!

Narrative games are the best. This one is especially good. The themes give me huge "Anthem" vibes. Enjoyable! and MULTIPLE ENDINGS TOO?! 5/5

I'm surprised that the game had a month of development! The storytelling is so good, kept me hooked the entire game, graphics and sound are incredible too.

Nice work!

Loved the game! The world is really fleshed out. I liked how you really thought it through what kind of mannerism an intelligent ant society would have. The writing is top notch, novel quality if you ask me. I liked the sound design, especially the different dialogue sounds. And finally there was just impressively much game to be played for a month of development!

Love the lore and worldbuilding of this game. The atmosphere and music are definitely effective in making me a little uneasy yet immersed.

It’s a wonderful narrative, although the game wasn’t really my thing I played longer than I intended just because its been so lovingly put together. There’s lots to appreciate here.

I must say, the art is incredible. The theme is heavy and it felt atmospheric every step along the way. It somehow reminds me of Fran bow, despite it being a very different game.

Came because of how good the visual look, stayed for the atmosphere. Super well built and written.

What if bugs were cursed with a semblance of human intelligence or at the very least sociology as they went about their days and lives? You play one such bug, and ant, sister of many. You bring with your religious retinue a hive mind and your individuality. Instinct and man like religion. This is the story of a grim pilgrimage and it's fucking fantastic! The art design sells the entire concept and I was happy to take a break from the more active games here to listen to a story from a nightmare world. The strife of the ants brings to mind many of Cormac McCarthy's tales of the west. Play this one through, you won't regret it.

This was not something I was expecting from a game jam. The writing is riveting and the atmosphere incredible.
