As before love the art style and the feeling of isolation and depression.

Gameplay and level design was much cleaner and easier to grasp compared to 2.

Look forward to see what you make in the future.

I liked this one a lot! It was a fun expeirence, I think I understood the story, the graphics were great, the combat was kind of fun, my only issue was the platforming was kind of broken.

Awesome art style! I really like the dark imagery throughout the world and the Don't Starve kind of style for the character. The music was subtle but set the tone really well.

For games with platforming, getting a good character controller is hard, but incredibly important. The character was pretty floaty and the hang time felt like he was flying lol. And the sticking to walls in the beginning before wall jump felt a bit weird. 

Overall it was really solid, cool design, and I'd love to see a more fleshed out version of it!

I really liked the game and the level design, it shows you went through multiple iterations to get it right!

What I liked:

  • The game kept me going and I have reached the end
  • I like how the character also fades away as the health gets lower.
  • It's just the right length for the game jam.

Suggestions / Questions:

  • I wish the character controller was a bit more responsive. I've missed a number of jumps due to its floatiness.
  • I whish you had the time to finish the level design, some of those white rectangles are taking away from the immersion.
  • Enemies were easy to kill just by spamming attack button, perhaps a time limit to prevent the spam would make them more challenging (also, sad to see them as white squares too)

really nice game, the gameplay was enjoyable and the level design was really good, but it wasn't really a horror game, the story though was good but i don't think i get it i just understood the feel you were going for which is pretty good
