Cool direction and game, the glitch aesthetic is really cool.

So this is what taking acid is like... lol In all seriousness though, I like this as a concept of "previously undiscovered game from a bygone era." Kind of like the idea behind Petscop (though that's not a real game) except it's more of an Earthbound/Yume Nikki kind of game. Really interesting. I only got the bad ending and the "good ending... I think" but I'll have to revisit it and see what I missed, since your preview shows something I didn't experience. Good work!

when i first started working on the player character's movement i was actually kind of reminded of petscop too actually, in like the very first versions of the game they used to slide around the way the petscop character did lol. thanks for the feedback!

a beautiful hot mess.  11/10 would eat the mushroom again

A bizarre, yet fun game. I really like its glitch art aesthetic, and the ways you can experiment with the world around you — it's fun to try and find the different possible endings with the limited options you have available. The use of sound is minimalistic, but it works. I don't really have much to criticize here.

Super weird and cool. I truly love the text box sounds as dialog reads in. It is a little hard to look at but in a beautiful and brilliant kind of way. It reminds me of some weird GBA era games a bit.

I didn't understand anything. Controls are great, the art and sound design are alright.

The slugs in the rain are indeed peaceful.

This is so cool! We love the sounds so much, as well as the art. Everything is oozing a ton of personality. Great job!
