Fun game! Great atmosphere, good sound effects, decent platforming, good abilities & level design. I loved the ending just like everyone else!

I did get stuck briefly at a couple points, but figured everything out by the end. I also would recommending getting rid of any completely empty hallways. If you really want a break between rooms, it would be good to spice them up, even just a little bit.

I had a little slowdown too, so I hope you can figure out that problem. I've heard that simulated lighting can be a real killer, did you look into that? It looked like you used real lighting effects like the ones in 3D games.

I really enjoyed playing the game in general & I wish it was longer! Since it had a full story, another game would be even better though. :) Good luck in the future!

The atmosphere is there, but the game was running painfully slowly on my laptop, so it quickly got tedious to play and the fact that you often walk through empty corridors didn't help.

Nice!

I like the end.

The thing that bothered me the most is the movement. At first i thought it was intentional but after reading all the comments it could be a performance issue. Anyways the movement felt really slow and with the long corridors I was getting bored.

The puzzles where quite nice and the upgrades are really fun!

Good job!

Loved it! I too experienced slowdowns on a decent PC - so I assume there are some issues to resolve there. Maybe make sure your art-elements are set up properly. Wasn't sure the engine used here, so not sure what to suggest. I also was unable to use my ps4 controller for whatever reason.

The atmosphere was great, and the idea for the puzzle elements was nice. It took me a bit to figure out the full utility of the first item gathered.

Great work!

Interesting game.  I liked the style of the art and the story was pretty engaging.  I got stuck at one point for a little bit but kept trying things until I figured it out.  I did experience some slow-downs in a couple places.

I liked how the story tied into the short nature of it being a game-jam game.

Neat little puzzle-vania! The game didn’t run well on my laptop, but I pushed through because I was curious about the story. Chilling!
