I like the atmosphere, the landscapes and sounds are pleasant. The character animations and sound are pleasant. Some complaints:

• Are you supposed to be able to jump? I saw this mentioned in another comment but nowhere on the game page describing the input.
• The character idle is about as energetic as movement.
• Movement seems weirdly slippery for a character that looks like it should have great traction.
• After falling in the pit with a smiling fish monster, it is very easy to fall off the world. Is there any way out of here?
• The environments are pretty, but it can be very hard to tell where I'm supposed to be able to go, e.g. what steps are shallow enough to slide up, especially on the other side of the cave where everything looks like steps.
• Echoing some earlier notes: there aren't clear instructions or progress, the counter seems meaningless, and the landscape often blocks the camera.

Some bugs:

• Got caught in a corner here
• Respawn happens twice after a fall
• If I press E before a message has shown fully, it will eventually end the dialog but I can't move. I need to reenter the dialog and go through all of it.
• At one point the walk cycle wouldn't play if moving up or down
• Character becomes invisible near the waterfall

It'd be cool to see this developed further!

Good:

• A really mysterious, interesting world. I seem to be some kind of stitchpunk creature, but all the NPCs are statues? They all talk in a strange, cryptic way, and the music is eerie. It all creates an intriguing atmosphere.
• The art-style is really nice. There seem to be a few shader bugs, but overall it looks really good, and felt like a really fun place to explore.
• The use of verticality was really good. You built a level that really felt like it made good use of 3D. I liked how the river flowed over the top, then down the waterfall.

Bad:

• I have no idea what I'm doing... The invisible transition to "zone A" says I need to earn everybody's respect, but I've searched very thoroughly, and I could only find three NPCs to speak to.
• The camera is often blocked by walls. Understandable in a game jam, but the fact that falling off the world seems to completely reset my progress makes it really punishing. I want to explore, but if I wander around blindly, I might get reset.
• The dialog system is a little glitchy. If I press to speed up the text reveal, it just does the same line again. Plus, whatever the number in the top-right corner is (I'm assuming spirit essence?) it seems to go up if I hear the same line again. I got up to 1050, but that still didn't open the other zone.

Overall, I think the aesthetics of this entry are great. It's a strange, mysterious world, and it looks and sounds lovely. I'm not really getting the game element though. There doesn't seem to be much I can do, and there's very little guidance on what I should be trying to do.

This game looks pretty neat with an interesting world but I struggled with the lack of direction and slow movement. I also fell off the edge twice and got soft-locked in a corner once.

I managed to collect 400 points, then I fell down and found a terrifying fish wrapped around a ball, then I fell down again into the void because I didn't know where to go. The assets look really great in this game, and I can tell you didn't have enough time to implement everything you want for this game, I'll be keeping an eye on this game if you do decide to expand upon it.
