Thanks for playing and appreciate the feedback! 

It's probably not clear as we didn't have time, but if you loop back to the start of the game...you haven't reached the end of the game. I've added a note to the game description so that's less confusing to future players. So thanks for calling that out! 

Thanks so much for the detailed feedback! It helps a ton as we're looking to polish the game further :) 

Yeah, the initial dream sequence was not intended to be there and was supposed to happen later in the game. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to correct it. 

As for the narrow field of view, we were hoping that'd it create a more eerie and lost in the woods feeling for the player-character to experience as they're trying to regain their memories. But makes sense that we could better balance that with the gameplay. 

Enjoyed the art a lot, the dialogue and the characters! The text was pretty difficult for me to read and I couldn't finish the game. However, this is coming from someone who isn't good at puzzles in general. Good job!

Great art and environment! The music really built some tension up and was expecting something big to happen...but I got to the end and nothing really happened.

There was some quirky/weird things I spotted that added to the atmosphere but felt like it wasn't enough compared to the crescendo/dramatic tone of the background music, which is probably why I expected something whackier or bigger or jumpscare to happen. 

Maybe I got through the maze too fast / too easy so perhaps adding some paths to throw off players + more dramatic/wacky things happening can add more to the experience. 

Loved the gameplay and good story! Hearing the dialogue sound effect weirded me out at first but it grew on me once I heard other character's dialogue. I thought the "puzzles" were just the right amount of difficulty as someone who sucks at puzzles. 

For me, the ending felt a little abrupt. It just felt like everything happened at once. I can't really point as to why I felt the ending was abrupt as there was a fair amount of buildup. But maybe it wasn't enough buildup or emotional impact leading up to it? For example, when the player finds out who they're playing, the character reacts casually and moves on, so I didn't find that believable. So perhaps there needs to be some work with the dialogue to pack more "punch" to impact the player. 

I did like the mystery and enjoyed making the connections to try to figure out who he was. Overall, great game! 

I've played a handful of horror games and I was feeling some fear! The atmosphere was great. The "notes" that I found were confusing to understand so didn't really understand what was going on or what the backstory was.

I thought you did a great job at the buildup through the environment and sounds. I wasn't sure if I finished the game as I got lost and couldn't find what else to do, so I was hoping for a more satisfying ending. 

EDIT: I realized that I posted spoilers for the game so I left out a lot of the details. 

Very cool UI interface with the cellphone. Wish y'all got farther as I like visual novels, but looks promising!

Hey everyone! I'm a writer whose experience is in short stories. Looking to join a team to help write a game's story, plot, dialogue, etc.

Here's a recent thriller/suspense short story I wrote if you want a feel of my storytelling skill. https://2ly.link/1vT9v I have no experience with game dev but I'm here to learn, have fun and jam! Please reach out to me if you're interested. Thanks :)

Is Inform and Ink usually used in conjunction with other engines though? I briefly looked through the jam you linked and seems like most of them had other engines they used as well. I might be mistaken though. 

As a writer / beginner solo dev, I probably only have enough bandwidth and patience to learn just a single engine and try make something with that vs trying multiple engines at once and putting it all together. 

That's a great point. Working with other people may increase my odds at actually finishing something vs trying to trudge through this solo.
