Amazing! The atmosphere, the music, the art... You did great!
(Only for be clear… The game ends after the dialogue. It´s correct? Because the game go to blackscreen, but the sound and music are still playing… I’m going to assume that is the end of the game for my comments…)
WOW. Absolutely fantastic. The huge huge dramatic potential in visuals, in the things not told, only suggested by the pixel art. This is an awesome little piece of art. The visual part is absolutely outstanding, using it to tell the story of an missed opportunity. Music and SFX are also very well implemented. I didn´t have problems with the font size.
In the gameplay part, the interaction is minimal but adecquate. I used the “E” when appeared and the first time I played the game I lost some texts. The rune location, once you realize, it´s obvious, but it takes a little to this. The rune minigame is cool.
Congratulations. IMO, one of the best (but with a strange abrupt ending).
I really appreciate your feedback! It's really nice to hear such a thing about my own creation...).
P.S. Yes, I had to leave this abrupt ending because I was already behind with the deadline (12 hours, I couldn't resist not doing it the way I wanted) so I decided to add some mystery and suspense ...)) and thus logically end the game before publishing it
Masterpiece. Everything is done right, and the atmosphere is amazing. Great job.
The art is absolutely amazing! I love the atmosphere of the game. I'd love to see it developed further.
Very nice game! The game crashed passed the first rune puzzle but everything before that was truly impressive. I especially like the atmosphere you created as well as the puzzle rune which is fun to mess around with.
Thank you so much for the review!
P.S. I'm very sorry that the game crashed after the stone puzzle(
