This game is so pretty! This may be my favourite submission I've played this jam! finding the secrets words was super fun, I managed to find all of them! I was hoping that something would happen if you took the note back to the guy in the house, maybe some additional dialogue or a little story about each word? I really thought something would link back to the idea of memories at the start. If you update this I'd love to re-play! 

Developer

Thank you ! Oh thats so sad, honestly I thought that nobody would make it to the end because of softlock issues, so I didn't focus on the end scene even if it is written and in-my-head ready. I'm working on the definitive update, it would be a pleasure to ping you then.

The graphics on this are amazing. Did you capture photographs of real paper and use those as the assets?

Along with that, great concept! Like others have said, some sound or music would have added to the atmosphere, but the game is still VERY stylish. Great job.

Thank you sm. Yes the assets are real paper, the set up was crazy. I used spaghetti to hold them in front of my computer  with fullscreen green image. (No pasta were hurt)

I managed to find all the souvenirs. The game is really cool visually, but some sound would be nice. Once I knew that the souvenirs were hidden words, it wasn't too difficult to find most of them.  Figuring out what a lot of the words say wasn't too difficult, however, some had letters that were hard to tell they were part of the word, or letters that were hard to tell what they were. It might need to be made more clear to the player that they're looking for hidden words in the first place.

The cloud was a particularly difficult one, as I only found it after I realized I was one word short, and it took me forever to figure out what it said because of how indistinct the letters were. (And I have no idea what a "cigal" is)

That being said, I found this game enjoyable, especially the hidden word aspect of it. I do wish there was some sort of reward for actually finding everything though. I also managed to get stuck by the mailbox when looking for souvenirs on my first playthrough and had to reset.

Developer

Thanks for the complete input ! I'm working on sounds and music currently. The game was not tested, I realized too late that some things were not clear. And "cigal" is on me, I'm not a native English speaker and I used google traduction too fast... i was meaning cicada. Thanks for the mailbox softlock, i wasn't aware of it

So I died after moving some platforms and got softlocked, yippee!

This game looks extremely good but yeah theres not much indication of where to go, I interact with a flower and nothing seems to happen so I really have to go far out to explore.  Also yeah the bg and fg are indistinguishable.

This is a really awesome game though I am not trying to put you down!

Developer

I get it thank you ! Yeah it definitely lacks feedback pretty much everywhere, thats going to the todo list

Wow this game's visuals are really nice. Definitely some of the best visuals I've seen so far. How did you get that real paper look? Genuinely very impressive!

I won't try to reiterate too much of what people have already said but I will agree about lack of sound being disappointing.

As for the gameplay I do think it is very confusing and sadly I ended up giving up because I was too lost. I think having a tracker for what words you have written down would be super helpful because it starts to get really messy if you forget what words you had written down. Also the indicator for guessing the correct word is too subtle. Due to the cryptic nature of the words being hard to guess; sometimes you might just guess a word and if you get it right it can be a bit hard to tell just because there isn't enough feedback. There is some feedback but just not enough to make it super apparent. So this can lead to some frustration with not being sure if you got the word right.

Another issue that can lead to confusion is just not knowing where to go  during certain segments. I did really like the stage popping up from the background but some of them do this offscreen. If its done offscreen maybe have the camera pan over to show the new area really quick or just keep everything on screen.

But overall really awesome game! I wish I could've seen everything there was to offer but this game has a ton of potential!

Thanks ! The secret of the real look of paper is because it is real. I attached a picture in one of my replies where you can see the shooting setup.

As for being lost, i know it definitely lacks feedback and sound, i'm working on it ! Camera panning is a great idea, i'll think about it 

(And congrats on your ranking)

Wow I thought it was actual paper I assumed it would take too long to make all of that. Very impressive!

And thank you I'm very happy with the win! Congrats on your ranking as well!

Firstly, as others have mentioned, this game is absolutely stunning! The art, animation, lighting/shading, etc. are all beautiful and add together to a very unique and visually engaging experience. Personally I am especially fond of the almost Howl's Moving Castle type designs for the different buildings. Gameplay wise, it's a really fun concept and I wish I could've experienced all it had to offer... sadly, I was not able to finish and found some parts a little confusing or difficult to navigate. As another comment mentioned, it can be hard to tell the difference between background and actual physical platform. But all this is only to say this game is TEEMING with potential and I can't wait to see your future projects! Hude kudos!

Developer

Thanks a lot ! I'm working on the overall clarity of the game currently, glad you found it nice looking at least ! Hude kudos ! (Whatever it means, im not native english speaker, but it does seems nice :)

The game looks great! Although i get stuck often so i cant really enjoy the game, beautiful presentation and love the concept.

Submitted

I love the art!  I wish it was more obvious which areas you could stand on or run/fall through, though, and it's possible to get stuck in several places.  Really charming game overall.

Submitted

I love the look of the paper cut-outs. Outstanding art!

Submitted

My favorite submission so far. It lacks audio, yes. But it's visuals are SO good, I'm unsure if it's a 3D game with paper models, or a 2D game with really good lighting. I couldn't find any souvenirs but I enjoyed the start of the game. Maybe souvenirs could have more distinct shapes and slight tone changes (like gray rather than white) to make them easier to find.

Uuuu love the visuals of the game! and the house having a inside and a fading outside is very nice.

Developer(+1)

It was worth implementing instead of correcting obvious bugs...

Submitted(+1)

Really loved the art style!!! It was a fun playthrough with a lot of charm :D

It would have been cool to have some sound effects/music though

Solid entry! Keep up the awesome work! :)

Developer

Thanks ! 

I'm working on the sound currently, maybe in a next update !
