The concept is fascinating and unusual. A pretty psychedelic atmosphere.

Somehow seeing the word “female” in dialogs instead of a name feels strange. It feels like it emphasizes the importance of something the player still needs to discover and thus can’t fully understand or appreciate yet.

The story is engaging and drags you in. I had some technical difficulties, though. In the bird scene, it is not that obvious what is going on. It looks like you are stretching toward the vines but not reaching them. And you don’t actually see the spot you need to hit to produce the sound.

On the moon scene, I couldn’t understand what to do and walked out of the screen out of interest. The horse never returned :( Maybe it fell down from the edge of the scene.

The story is quite intriguing, so I hope to try again later. Wish you all the best in developing this game!

Thank you for experiencing our... session). Your feedback really helps us to develop the better game further.

Aye, "female" is used for narrative reasons. At first, it was Male and Female Voice. Then it changed into even more vague. Since this small game is a Prologue (and a test of skills) to the long-play in development, we're not making the whole story clear. It's a bit of a teaser, I think, but we can't tell more since the narrative of our future OutopiA: Hindsight game can be ruined by any specifics. Anyway, there are hooves and there are footprints - that is kinda clue.

Lots of stuff seems not very obvious, well, it's the lack of time and skill for polish, which we're gaining in at the moment. Sound puzzle is a bit bugged also, which is why we posted the solution. We should have added something to the Vines, to let know where to Neigh/Hit; this kind of issues would be fixed in our future releases, of course.

The Moon scene is quite similar to the idea of hitting Vines. You just have to Neigh and Hit the swaying Lantern to get to the finals (best hit in the center). We'd appreciate if you could manage to the very end, for the Moon scene is actually the last you really play in. And... yeah, we forgot to lock the borders, for we never thought one would stray off (but, aye, we should have!). 

We've already made a list of edits and improvements to the game in development based on the feedback and own post-jam tests. Very productive event. Thank you once again!

We played again and this time finished. The art is captive and intriguing, as well as the storyline. The visuals and emotions shape the gameplay. They help players to switch off their analytical thinking and instead immerse into the flow of things. Great concept. Developing it further could make the game remarkable, especially if the technical part will be more polished.

Appreciate so much! We'll do our best to make the game in development remarkable and polished. You helped us with that, thanks).
