Initial reaction: Oh my word!
Repeated phrase: "Get away from me!" and "Where's home? Where's mom?"
Lovely game. It got me creeped out and I could feel the sense of being lost in this big town. Setting it on a rainy night with your only moment of brief reassurance is the warm glow of street lights definitely sets a captivating mood.
Visuals: The pixel art is clear and well animated. Every character's appearance was distinct and clearly communicated.
Gameplay: Nice and simple. Arrow/WASD. Just get to where you need to be...only I don't know which direction that is. As much as I want to say "I wish I had directions", I feel the game would have lost a very important part of its "to walk alone" feeling. Solid stuff.
Audio: Everything was nice and clear. No conflicting sounds. The nice ambiance of the rain and thunder alongside the footsteps of the character blend well together. No complaints.
All in all a beautiful game. Would definitely like to see more from this team.
