i connected 5/9 gateways, then i started new route and found new gateway but option to finish wasn't showing so i found another new gateway still no option was showing, i pressed E anyway and it looked like the gateway pushed me upwards and now everything is dark and i can't see any thing :')

Simple. Atmospheric. Impressive.


I really appreciate how the monochrome dithering effect gives the player a sense of depth/distance. 
The mouse control was a little bit anyoing since I couldn't move around and have to walk sideways but maybe this is intended?


Keep coding!

Short. Atmospheric. Kinda brilliant in it's way. Cool game!

This game has a nice atmosphere but it's really easy to get lost.

Solid style, deep atmosphere, nice music, and sweet dither shader! Gameplay is super experimental and interesting. But I can't make myself make all the connections, it feels little monotonous for me. I think, some additional landmarks, or big lamps can make experience more rewarding.

Developer(+1)

That was my initial idea, but I understood that that creating the landmarks that would look decent was quite out of my scope (due to me being horrid at blender). Thanks for playing and such a nice review!

due to me being a mere mortal with exceptionally horrible time-management skills i didn't have time to put the controls in game so just in case i'll comment them here as well as on the game page itself
(if this is against the rules, please dm/tag me in discord)
