Really enjoyed the aesthetic, mood, and storytelling. Good work! :)
Thank you !
Interesting game... I really agree with the other comment that the theme is unsettling... like I have done something wrong but I don't know why.
I like that you have thought of areas that the player might go off the intended path and have dialogue to address that (i tried to ride the boat very early on).
I did run into a minor problem that pressing E or SPACE would cause certain dialogue to loop indefinitely, but I could click in order to overcome this. I also think it would be nice if there was another game mechanic of some kind, although with such a unique setting I am not sure exactly what that would be.
I ultimately made some poor dialogue choices and was sent back to the beginning to try again. I definitely need to have another more careful run through the game but this is definitely impressive for a solo dev in two weeks. Great work!
Thank you very much for your feedback !
I am glad that the feeling I tried to convey the best I could was on point then :D
Players are curious and players often intend to stray from the right path :)
Thank you fur the bug feedback ! I will look into it to release a better version after the judging time.
There is another game mechanic, thought it is not accessible right early on. Which is also why hints are displayed (For the game Jam only) in the pause menu ;)
Thank you again for the feedback, it is greatly appreciated !
It has a nice calm unsettling feeling--really cool. I like the overall art style, maybe just a little more environmental details in the village. The story is well written too. Awesome!
Also kudos to another solo developer.
Thank you very much !
I will detail more the Island after the Jam, I quite didn't had time to place/do everything I wanted so I tried to place the "Main" things first.
Kudos to you too ! Keep it up !
