  • I really like both the visual and audio design on this one! Cozy, but oppressive darkness at the same time. The sounds seem super neat, almost as if they're made by recording miscellaneous things IRL. Simple use of the theme, but rather effective. I really wish it had objective, but given your mention of being unable to find the time to work on it, I can understand that.

Really enamored with the character design here. The visuals get particularly beautiful when you fly above the horizon. You did a great job with color choice. I wish I could figure out how to progress further. On my first run I fell in the hole and didn't know what to do or press (my fault for not reading the movement instructions). After that, I managed to fly over the hole and chopped some trees, then kept moving right while defeating spiders with the flashlight. That seemed to go on forever. Did I miss something?

Thank you!! 😊

Unfortunately there is no progression as of now.. I didn't quite find the time to make it more than its current stage. But I tried my best to create a good atmosphere with the limited time I got to spend on the game! 😄

Glad you liked the visuals! 😊
