I really like the art and it's direction. The choice for ambient sound is really good.   The gameplay might not be my cup of tea but overall really like this game

Submitted

Great mood with nice graphics. The animations need some improvement. I suck at animation so to get something nice I simply put this kind of  animation reference, in the back of my character and just copy it. Other than that, the light is good. Like it. Keep it up.

Developer

That makes sense to be honest. What I did was eyeball it using those references but never traced it. Maybe that's better. So I'll try it out next time. Thanks for the feedback!

The artstyle is great, even though the animations are a bit janky. Also the character walks a bit too slowly to my tastes. I like the atmosphere a lot!

Submitted

I didn't finish it yet! But I will come back for this gem! The art and animation are amazing! The music is perfect! Gret work!!

Submitted

It had my full attention from the very beginning. Love the multiple choice responses and sense of control in the story flow. The imagery is really nice and while I didn't have time to finish it this time around I have downloaded it to play it through to completion later!

Submitted

Great art. I love the atmosphere of the game. Also, the music suits perfectly for ambiance. A good story with a plot twist ending.

Submitted

Captured 10- min of my thoughts while playing.

Only want to add I can't figure out how the theme was implemented.
Developer

Thank you for the in-depth insight into what you thought about the game! I really appreciate it. Had a good watch as well!

Also about the theme, I wanted it to show the mirrors connecting this world to another but I didn't have time to really capitalize on that. The more obvious one is being a detective and trying to find the connections of the suspects to the crime. But I get that it's kind of a stretch.

We talked on discord, so I don't have much to say here. :)

Yeah this is an awesome game, the art direction is great, the sound FX and music are great (I had some problems with sound bugs in the back, like, little cracks, specially when it's loading, in the WebGL version). But the story is immersive, the art is fantastic and the game keeps you engaged with the story. 

Superb job with this one!

I had a nice experience playing and I absolutely loved the art! The story was very intriguing as well. My only complaints would be that to the right of the drug store the game was a little choppy, and there were some minor spelling mistakes in the dialogue. Also, I suggest adding an exit button on the title screen. But I still enjoyed the experience a lot and would love for a longer game or just a part 2! Great work!

Really cool game! :D

Story was really interesting and the character design of the man in the mirror was so cool.

Had a little trouble figuring out what I should be doing at times but all in all an amazing game.

Hope to see what more comes of this! If you were to expand it into a full length game with that same art and concept I along with I'm sure many others would eat it up!

Aside from a few spelling mistakes, and grammar, no complaints from me!

Good job chief!

Submitted

This was an interesting take on the theme and fun to play.
