Nice Game. Beautiful story. You definetly put a lot of time and effort into it. I wish I had a VR-set to experience it like you meant it.

The visuals are really neat & the music is very on point with the mood of the game.

I played with a controller and I have to admit the controls were a bit finicky when you need to move objects. 

the voice over is a bit hard hear over the music. I had to put on a headset to hear it properly.

Appart from that, It's a really beautiful entry and I enjoyed playing :)

Developer

Thanks for playing and commenting :) Means a lot !

We have looked into the controls and improved them for a version coming after ranks are over, thanks to your feedback. And we are currently looking into volumes to improve this aspect of the game. We want to make sure that both voicing and musics are well heard.

Thanks again !

I enjoyed it I'm still impressed whenever I see a VR game haha. Good writing. Nice quality on the audio recording. I'm curious how you did the animations?

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing our game !

We wanted to expend our skills into something new, and VR sounded like a good try :D

Regarding the animations, we simply used ALS V4 which is available for free on UE4 Marketplace. If you haven't tried it yet, you should have a look !

Really beautiful game, and sad story(cried a bit  ). I did get soft lock on the first lamp puzzle, but I just reset it and did again and it worked.

Developer

Really glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing  !

We looked into this lamp puzzle and were able to fix the issue. Thanks for leaving us your feedback :)

I was enjoying playing the game in VR until I got to the second level and then the platforming towards the end became impossible for me to progress past. I enjoyed the story and switching between the different characters to move to the different sections, the music was also very good. 

Developer

Thanks for playing and giving us your feedback !

Regarding the issue you encountered in VR, was it due to a lack of visibility of the platforms? We obviously want to ensure that it feels right for everyone, and will look into the problem for a version coming right after ranks are over.

I think because it was in vr it was difficult to control the player when platforming on the very thin platforms that you move up and down towards the end of the second level.

I can only imagine the intended experience on the vr is way more emotional, I played mouse and keyboard. The sound quality is really great and it is really a interesting perspective to observe your self from the center of the field and watching your other self going through the memories. Was an interesting experience. I don't know if it is my mouse but grabbing things and moving them was difficult, wasn't really that responsive. The player movement was good though. Thank you for making me take a walk through a memory lane!

Thanks for playing and leaving a comment !

It was indeed a bit difficult to drag/click on items, and thanks to your comment, we just modified it in the new version that will come after ratings are over.

We are glad that you enjoyed it !

Hi all! You guys have made such an incredible game! I love how polished it is! Even though I don't have a VR set, I still had a fun time playing it on my pc! 

The atmosphere, the ost and the narration all of them were top notch! I really want to emphasize on how beautiful the soundtrack and narration was! Truly a gem!


I did get stuck here tho, like my character was not able to pass through this wall for some reason! Maybe I am just dumb and missing the puzzle, but he couldn't get through the door even as the teenager! Let me know if you can help me with this!

Developer

Thanks a lot for your comment ! We are glad you have enjoyed the game (partially though) !

This looks and sounds like a bug unfortunately... Were you able to reset the game via the pause menu to finish the level? It shouldn't happen so I should get fixed straight when restarting... Sorry for that, we tried to fix as many bugs as possible but preferred to ensure that everything else would be in the game as we finished a few mins prior to deadline. We are planning on doing some bug fixing this week, so we will aim towards reproducing this one and take it out :) Thanks for letting us know !

Nice work! I liked discovering the different interchangeable characters. Touching concept too - I lost my brother 3 years ago. I have a special place for games about grief, when I have the energy to play them :)

Developer

Thanks for your kind words, I am glad this game made an impact on you. Hope you are doing well and taking care of yourself :)

A really original concept. Unfortunately, I do not have VR kit to fully enjoy the game, but I imagine it would feel even better!

I've played hundreds of triple a games from the 80s all the way to current and latest games, and I have not played a game with innovation and original creativity like this in a very long time. I think this team has a really good direction with their ingenuity. maybe a bit more work on controls but that's it, little trick I learned is when your interacting with the puzzles and your on MnB click and hold the object.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your comment and feedback, this means a lot to us !! :)

We will investigate further into controls in the future, and try to make this as user friendly as possible.

Have a great one !
