Super interesting game- bewildered at the sudden ending but it was still mega fun to play!

Although I'm a lil confused at the sudden ending like that with no explanation, it feels like a good choice. It leaves the entire story up for interpretation in a good way imo. Have the feeling it's a metaphor for their friend; they are the friend that they recently helped get away from a toxic friend group that was weighing them down, and letting go of their friend in the "go back" ending symbolised that. Even outside of such interpretations, the story is still cool in the way it builds up the unease masterfully. LOVED the artistic direction, as well as the choice to add movement, it's a nice addition that makes you feel like you're doing just a little more than pressing through dialogue and breaks up the monotony. I guess my sole critiques would be that I wish there were more choices to be had to make it more interactive, and that, atleast on my pc, the text looked a little low resolution(unless that's intentional!)

had me so stressed i loved it TT

this wowed me the metaphor was so sad but so real i love this game. i wish for more games like this.

A really cool game! was fun to play it!

Haunting, a siren song to the doom that welcome us all. The horror of the unknown...

Incredible storytelling, soundtrack, and visuals, and the story leaves just enough to be wondered about. You can absolutely take it at face value, or you can find metaphors if you go deeper beyond the surface. Love this game!

When I saw someone review this on YouTube, I didn't expect this to be a Lovecraftian tale of toxic friendships. Just gorgeous all around! My only complaint is that there's no way to naturally leave the scenes and go to the world island map, but 1) it's such a nitpick that it doesn't affect my rating for the game, and 2) it's something I'm sure will get added after the jam is finished (if the devs decide to release a post-jam version, anyways).
