Truly enjoyed this game! The art is fantastic, the writing so evocative, and the story original and heartbreaking. The music and VAing both serve to really pull the player in. Great job!
Thank you so much! Our team definitely went all-out. This was also our first time incorporating VA, and we're so glad it paid off. :)
An enjoyable and engaging story with some spookyness. Good job. :)
Thank you!!
Super fun and sweet, with ominous overtones and exceptional lore. A world built ready-made for your own interpretations and head-cannons.

Thank you, Chase!
Our team had so much fun hanging out and watching you and Tundra play through Nameless. We look forward to sharing more of The Departed Cycle with you!
A solid game with great storytelling and visuals. Beautiful.
Wouldn't be much without the solid soundtrack, too. ;)
I saw you had this priced at $9.99 and I went "damn, this had better be good." And, well, it is. The whole thing is so polished and sharp. The art is gorgeous; the backgrounds are super detailed and the character art has so much emotion to it. The fantasy story feels fresh and original; you made the smart choice to keep it personal and intimate. The choices feel meaningfully used. Would have liked full voice acting, but I enjoyed the performances we did get. Only suggestion: The sound mixing has the music balanced way louder than the voices. Other than that, this is absolutely ready for a pro release.
Thank you so much!!
We're glad you enjoyed, and really appreciate the kind comment. Our team definitely knocked it out of the park, and we're thrilled that it shows! We appreciate your mention of the audio mixing, as well. This has been an ongoing issue which we are working hard to rectify before our priced launch. Your input means a lot, and we are going to continue fiddling with it until it's perfect.
Thanks again!
I'll be looking forward to the final release; I hope it does well! Be sure to check out my entry too: https://itch.io/jam/spooktober-vn-jam-2022/rate/1690696
