I remember playing an earlier build of this game during the RETURNERS jam last year! It's cool to see it return again for this jam.

The amount of detail and effort you put into this project is very impressive, FeverDev. I love all the custom graphics that you made, and it's satisfying to explore when you know there's some kind of secret to be found in each map.

The soundtrack is awesome, too. Did you compose it yourself? Edit: After downloading the soundtrack, I realise now that you did, so a better question would be how did you make the music? I'm curious to know which software you used.

Wow, I am very impressed by the scope,  the story and the characters of this game! Full disclosure, I haven't played your other games yet, even though I plan on doing so, since the lore seems to be connected. (?)

It took me a while to play this because I had to keep taking breaks - because the atmosphere is actually very haunting and it got to me, but also because I got stuck or a little lost a few times.

I really like how many different themes are hidden in this. There's so much to see! It really does feel like a fever dream at times so it's very fitting.

There's some very dark subject matter, especially when talking to the black cat, and it felt like such a raw, personal story somehow.

I also think it fits the theme on a spiritual level, with its sense of dread. I was a little overwhelmed at times.

Although I have to say, I'm embarrassed to admit that I have been stuck now and I'm not sure how to progress. (Spoilers ahead)

I met the girl who talks about the stars, and dried her off with a towel from Katie's house, then she went through the wall in my house.

Now I'm awake, I can visit the underwater cave with my swimsuit and I can visit Katie's house (except for where she is sitting because my character doesn't want to be noticed by her) and I can go into the cave. I can also cook and eat things but the game doesn't let me go to sleep. I have touched the orb and jumped down to where the giant head-shaped rock is a few times.

After searching everything multiple times I watched

Hikiyami Moriko 's playthrough, even though it's from an earlier build I believe and they did a few things in a different order than me.

But at a certain point they will go to sleep and meet a man, but I can't do that :(

Maybe there is something I missed?

I hope I'll be able to experience the whole game before giving a rating so I won't rate it yet, but I cannot stress enough that I really really liked this game :)
