This is so cool! I thought the art really added to the overall atmosphere. I'm willing you could make a much longer story in this style if you wanted to.
Thanks! Yeah I am thinking about coming back to this at some point. I'm really busy with school though so I'm not sure when.
If it’s just the text off screen then zoom out. If it’s not loading at all then I’m not sure.
Thanks! Deleting this comment
A short but impactful experience. Art lends a lot to this, but I think audio would have really made this shine. A game about introspection needs to grab at every sense and subsume the player, if that makes sense? But I still really like a lot about this.
Thanks. Yeah, I ran out of time to create music for it. I wrote most of the dialogue Friday night and then spent the rest of the weekend learning ink and unity integration. I seen ink for the first time on Saturday.
The art is simply delicious. This whole piece feels so raw and honest with emotion!! A story about coping and facing your own very literal demons... I love it.
The only thing that kind of shook me was the fact that I needed to zoom out to play. The price to pay for high resolution? :c But I would still look into it for future things to avoid in works without a time limit!
Thank you! I will definitely be working on making my games work on every screen in the future. I had a lack of experience in that area.
The art is so so gorgeous, really simple but also really evocative too
Thanks, we were going for an emotionally intense game.
I wish there was an "art" category just so I could give 5 stars to this game! I loved it.
Thanks! The artists did an awesome job.
I really liked the art style and the atmosphere in this game. It a perfect example that you don't have to write walls of text to get your message across. Less is more in this case! Bravo!
Thank you so much! I was going for quick , exciting, poetic writing and the artists really brought the whole thing to life.
Loved the art style!
It's a very short game (makes sense for a very short jam) but every character we come across during this short journey is quite memorable and unique. Very good game!
Thanks, I'm happy you enjoyed it.

Love the sketch-book / pencil-drawing style of this game! The character designs were pretty neat. I like the randomization of events every playthrough. I just wish the creatures themselves would ask different questions or pose different threats.
Neat game! Great job on this.
I'm really glad you liked it and I appreciate the feedback. Thank you!
