This game was amazing. Controls felt good and responsive. The aesthetic style, (harsh shadows, expressive characters and use of lighting) was stunning. And the level of polish was impressive. Also great the way you told a story through the gameplay. Great stuff.
Thank you!
Excellent game concept, atmosphere had me on the edge the whole time incredible use of light and dark. My Brain sees death counter "I'm not going to die"- MyBrain,I only died 23 times. Then right when I thought I was going to click away you gave me a little buddy. Amazing job getting all these levels in for gameJam. I had to find out how this story ended. Incredible narration without saying a single word. My favorite was the piano chord light-up mechanics before the credits. Thank you for making this game and taking my time.
That is amazing to hear, thank you for playing. It really means a lot!
Lots to love about your project here. I totally dig the ominous red gradients and the stark bold lettering to introduce areas. The sound design adds to the tension throughout. And the art assets reminded me of Inside mashed with Thomas Was Alone.
My advice is that I think it's a little unforgiving. Instant deaths combined with lights very suddenly turning on, maybe in an area you just got to and haven't seen the pattern yet, plus no checkpoints within the levels, can make it kind of frustrating as you have to redo the same parts several times. Maybe the lights could glow somewhat before actually turning on, that would give the player a warning and more leeway.
Just a tip. Overall, an excellent entry! Keep up the good work.
yeah I agree that the game was unforgiving and adding checkpoints would’ve made it better too, thanks for the feedback!
Oh man, I absolutely loved this! Super stylish visuals with great music and sound to boot. Great, simple-to-grasp base mechanic. I loved the sinister vibe and the ending was beautifully done. Just great.
Thanks man! appreciate it.
It's a fantastic game, you really immerse yourself in the atmosphere.
Thank you!
