Hello

First of all. There were no free copies available when I went to rate your entry. According to the rules of the Jam, they should be available. But I liked it anyway so I bought it.

The game itself is a little contemplative journey back home. The layout is very coherent and sets the atmosphere well. The flow is easy and guides you well.

Notes:

In the table on page five which talks about the shape of the fireflies. 3 shapes are 2D and one (the sphere) is 3D. Wouldn't a circle be a more appropriate choice?

On a personal note: I would have liked a closed narrative arc. There is the question of why you are here. I would have liked to go into that again at the shift change. You are suddenly alone and think about your problems again and then the next shift comes and you are hopefull again. Likewise at the end. Here the question for me would be how does the reason for running away relate to the miracle you have just experienced? I find the question about thanking very beautiful, though.

I know I could do that easily myself while playing, but it still feels like an unused opportunity to me. But if that doesn't fit with your concept for the game, then it's okay that it's not in there.

All in all, I liked it a lot.

Thank you so much, for your kind words and the feedback! I'm sorry about the free copies not being available—I forgot that I hadn't updated the number of copies. I'm fixing that now.
