Sometimes its good to be alone with your thought. While short, the immersion and atmosphere of the game is great. The style was super cool from the backgrounds and characters down to the text and text boxes. Great work!
Very original take on the theme, great idea! The audio is a perfect fit for the very surreal nature of the game too. It was very short but overall it was a fun little walk. Nice job!
Great job! This felt like a nice, peaceful break. The style and music captured the feeling of lying awake at night for me. I'm also a big fan of the text animation - did you do that yourself?
Thanks a lot ! For the text animations, they are from the Febucci Text Animator on the unity asset store :)
That felt more like an art project. Nevertheless, I played it through and I loved it. Great writing and I think the music works very well with the theme.
I might have found a little bug: when the dialog in the scene finishes, I tried walking left and then right to the Thought again, and I think it just started the next scene dialog. I did not walk through the door.
In the end, this is one of the entries I really enjoyed playing so far. Really good work!
Fun game, I thought the character design and atmosphere was really good
Not really a fan of this genre. But, the game is cool especially the story. I think the fans of this genre would like this game. The art is nice too. Thumbs up
Wow. Great music choice. Absolutely amazing aesthetically. Great atmosphere and story. This is such a beautiful game, overall 5 stars for me. I hope it gains some more attention, it really deserves it!!
I love the text animations and overall art style. Dialogue options were meaningful and even if I am a shallow person still played twice. Also don't forget the music was matching the theme very well.
I just have a personal question to developer. What is your height :P
thanks so much for playing!

I really wanted to play this, but it seems the Mac build is broken or corrupt. Trying to open the .app gives the message "The application “GameOff.app” can’t be opened."
Hi ! I think I also put the wrong version on mac... Version control wasn't too good this jam xD Wanna try giving it another go now ?
Mac version works now, thanks! Love the art and soundtrack. Neat, poignant story. Nice work!
This was a very well made interactive story that did a great job exploring the concept of scale. I feel like this captured the thought process you might go through when trying to fall asleep but being kept up by fleeting thoughts! The shaking text on some letters is a really cool touch and I feel like the audio matched the ambience very well. I also liked the depth of the ambience with like a view into the city down alleys. Great work!
I liked the vibe here a lot, like a child whose woken up at night and there's no one around. I liked seeing these two philosophize with each other and explore. Good music and an evocative art style too. I'm not sure how you could take this atmosphere further, but if you can figure that out, it could be a cool thing for the world to have.
As one UX tip, I'd have preferred if hitting the Space Key while the dialog was appearing made it all appear at once as I read quite fast.
This is the last game I'll play tonight before heading to sleep. Let's see what cosmic thoughts come to me. Thanks for your submission.
Thanks for the reply ! And I'll take the UX tip ;)
This is really cool! I love how the simple art style was done along with the audio so that it's ridiculously immersive. I think it'd be awesome with some different scenes but of course there's only so much time to add stuff. Very nice.
thanks for playing! I did the art and there was supposed to be another scene in the city, but we didn't think it was important enough with the time constraint.
The audio was nice and I liked text animations you added
I published the wrong windows version !! It’ll be back in a little while.
