Nice to see another pico-8 game, although it has the feel of a bitsy game, especially with the story approach!

I had a chilled time riding the train and checking out the mine :)

Nice game. i love the art and i am very interested in pico8 now. i love how minimalist the game is yet you are able to convey so much.

The game looks really cool and the idea was different. I would suggest to change a little the camera, the movement wasn't very smooth, but good job in general!

A story telling game, nice! The camera movement was a little whacky, you should try making it follow the player every pixel instead of every tile.

I like to think you're supposed to find the story. There is an official ending, but just enjoy the atmosphere and learning about the environment for now!

Game reminds me of zelda. What a cool concept.  I was a bit confused on what to do next. I like the look and feel of this one a lot. Very retro

Thank you for you very kind review! I am still working on trying to point the users in the next direction: this was an exercise in that kind of programming I guess. Glad you enjoyed!
