I like the hand drawn art style and nice music. Excellent story. Impressive getting all that and the audio done in a short time. Game was quite bleak, but it does fit the theme really well and you did provide a warning.
All in in, a good game, but personally I'd ditch the long and slow maze section. It took me around 10 minutes just to get out of there, despite the game page claiming the whole game only takes 10 minutes. A lot of people would ditch the game during that stage, I'm glad I didn't.
Spoiler at the end to who has not played yet...
Thank you, the audio was something I did not make during the jam, but a long time ago (3 of 4 a year ago, 1 was mad 10 months ago) for ost jams. So that saved me some time as I used them like anyone else uses a purchased asset. The maze I now get takes longer than expected, if you know the fastest route the game takes around 10 minutes (maze is 1:25 to 2:00). I plan to expand on the game and make the maze clearer, or simpler, but not drop it because it is meant to resemble the start of the child's coma.
The atmosphere is very on point, congratulations, we can feel this game!
You nailed the atmosphere with the color choice and the music. Definitely not the ending I was expecting too. My only real feedback would be the movement speed is a bit too slow for my taste and the intro area was very hard to tell where I was supposed to be going. Otherwise solid game and a unique take on the theme!
The theme was met the only problem i had was that he was too slow and it made it long to get through the map. Very nice story tho.
At the beginning, I was about to give up in the labyrinth (I went the wrong way for 10 minutes. My bad).
I'm glad I didn't. Sad story. I won't do spoilers but, I expected it from people, but from him? I'll never trust anyone again.
