The main game mechanic is so well done! I admit some of them I was annoyed that the image is right there, but it wasn't registering, maybe it's not the right angle or some pixels are off. But I love the entire execution!

Love how all the 3d images are done though, good job! Story was good in the most bittersweet sense of the word.

The mechanic is the most interesting from the games I've played in the jam! Sound design is perfect.

The ticking heart screen really seemed unfair. I couldn't find it in couple of minutes! I was happy that there's a way to 'cheat' my way through.
But the next one, the family triplet, is absolutely amazing.

I think with some changes in pacing and little bit more polish (the menu screen!) this could be a beautiful and coherent little experience. Definitely one of the top games of this jam!

A brilliant concept for the puzzles! It feels like a mesmerizing dance of shapes, gracefully emerging as the cube shifts. A truly enchanting experience. The way you've woven the story and narrative into each puzzle feels seamless and immersive, making every solved challenge a rewarding adventure. Bravo!

Loved this! Great job on making this in a game jam, it comes across as polished and finished (albeit a shorter experience). Nothing was out of character and everything flowed nicely. Gameplay-wise I was on the edge of being too frustrated at times, but I got through or used the Reveal a couple of times, which I didn't mind doing so I could continue playing. Really nice work, I suspect you might be one of the top games of the jam! 

Developer

Thank you! This really means a lot. I was a bit worried the difficulty might push people away from seeing the full story. Really appreciate the kind words!
PS. loved your game! Haven’t had time to drop a comment yet but I will soon!

Great idea of using 3D crystal cubes as the basis for a visual puzzle. Appreciated the atmosphere and the fact that there was a "reveal" button for whenever you're stuck and just not seeing the image. And  the ending did a good job contextualizing what was going on too.

Developer

thank you so much! glad I added the reveal button at the end, didn’t  really realize how tricky it could be - totally got blind to my own game.
