The art is beautiful. I chose wrong so many times - or chose right...? This is a great work.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Certainly, I am eager to see this project explored in greater depth, as it presents a captivating blend of music, animation, and characters. The creature climbing at the beginning and the face in the mirror are truly striking elements, making a lasting impression and leaving me eager to delve further into this story, embracing its unique atmosphere and vibe.

Developer

I'm happy to hear it.  I have a lot more written that just needs to be polished and added.  If you enjoyed the music definitely check out 'milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk' and 'milk outside a bag of milk outside a bag of milk' by Nikita!

Oh yeeees for sure love those games! Your game really brings a similar vibe

Developer

They were my inspirations so I am glad that I was able to replicate their feeling in some way! <3

Your use of fonts, sounds and animations create such an eerie atmosphere - I genuinely felt unnerved (in a good way haha)! I hope you choose to develop it further - would be keen to play future iterations! Well done :)

Developer

I'm glad it was unnerving (in a good way)!  That is exactly what i was going for.  I definitely want to explore it further and make more quality animations.  I have lots of ideas :)

I made the experience above playable in HTML! I still recommend the download as you get some cool screen effects and shaders, but now mac can play! (I hope! i can't test safari so let me know ;-;)

The pallete is 'Bastille-8' by Antho 24

I liked it a lot! Would love to see this idea explored further!!
The way intro is made is very smart imo - the flickering images of your imagination really lurk you into the shadows as you try to look into them... Atmosphere is really strong, I love the color palette and the visuals in general. Cutscenes are beautifully horrifying. The idea itself is great too! I wish we could see more of the abyss! Thank you for this experience, I enjoyed it

Developer

Thanks :) I plan to delve into some deeper and darker things.  I had to cut the conversation in the mirror short because I wasn't confident on what I had written so far, but I will definitely expand it in the future.  I also probably need to add a way to easily go back to parts like renpy games.
