- This is an extremely pretty game, in both the art and the storytelling. The voice acting is great, and it really felt like I was playing a poem. The main thing I think you should focus on before release is making the climbing a little smoother - right now, it's a little hard to jump while climbing, so one of the pages inside the room is tricky to get to. That said, I really enjoyed playing, and I would love to see this game released! :)

Good for a prototype, but definitely needs a lot more time and care to make the gameplay feel good. Love the aesthetics and world even if it's small, I can see where the direction is going and it could be a really nice and fun story adventure once completed. A larger team size but still maybe a bit too over-scoped but hey it's ambitious and a good starting point for something bigger. The cat's rear was a bit unnecessary to model, it's a little weird how prominent it is especially with the placement of the camera haha but other than that good effort.
Just too jank to be enjoyable, unfortunately. Platforming as the cat just feels awful (now that you have to hold a direction on a wall constantly or else you let go, and that now you slide backwards if you hold a direction while charging a jump), and the story just didn't hook me (I assume the twist ending is that
the cat is sick?But I didn't really know anything about the cat, nor did I know much of anything about the narrator, so it just didn't affect me)More than anything it just feels like all of you dramatically overscoped, especially given some of the concept art you've posted (and the fact that the title screen says "play prototype" and not "play").
What I absolutely will give you, though, is that the game is really quite nice looking, and the VA was quite nice (I don't actually think I've ever seen a jam game with voice acting, not first-hand at least).
I definitely hope to see all of you next year, and especially I hope to see all of you tackle something 2D -- that concept art is gorgeous and even prettier than the final game (in my opinion of course)
Very pretty. I definitely wanted to jump around and find more things. The style gives me The Witness vibes for sure. Also that VA was great, kudos there for sure. The camera was killing me. It would be appreciated if you had some way to lower the camera sensitivity. Also it tended to get stuck in walls and the floor which caused some weird angles to happen.
Thank you! And yeah we need to tackle the camera sensitivity bc for some reason in Mac it was ok but on Windows it goes crazy. Sorry about that. Glad you enjoy it!
It is a pretty interesting concept. Would love to see the platforming mechanics explored more.
