A nice little story. Surprisingly tense as you move deeper towards the woods and the deer say some creepy stuff. Even without sound, I lowered my volume as I was getting closer...
The ending was a little abrupt, and couldn't tell if the game froze or something after talking to the bear. I really enjoyed the art for all of the animals. Is there any significance to the "51" on the tv screen?
The bears are really cute. It was unnerving to move through the forest and read signs like "birds should be quiet". I would have liked to see a few more background landmarks to show that I was going deeper into the forest since at one point with all the deer I wasn't sure if the level was just repeating itself and if there was something I should do before advancing.
What a lovely little game! Reminds me of the Redwall books
The story really did pull at my heartstrings! I was afraid something bad would happen in the forest, and that journey into the unknown was suspenseful (in a good way).
A sweet and emotive short story with amazingly adorable pixel art
That was a very beautiful story! I enjoyed it, it felt like an Aesop's fable. The art was also amazing, I could easily tell what everything was, I really enjoy gamejam entries which showcase the art and writing, well done!
Thanks a lot for your kind words! :)
