I think this is an interesting concept and it would be cool to see it developed more in the future

I couldn't shoot the third NPC but overall I liked the aesthetic and story. Good job! :)

You can skip non-NPC story dialogues with Alt. For NPC dialogues, use left-click to skip or select answers. Press ESC to free the mouse for choosing.

The third NPC? Oh, you can’t reach him without cheats. You just have to shoot him. If the shot doesn’t hit, try aiming a bit lower. I don’t really understand why this bug happens — I set up the raycasting correctly, but… JUST SHOOT!

Cool game! The level reminded me of the inside of the Great Deku Tree from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

A few suggestions:

  • The sensitivity starts at a pretty high number and can't be lowered any more due to the sensitivity bar on the menu starting at a very high number and increasing to absurdly high numbers.
  • Loved the dialogue, so creative! It would help if there was a specific button to open dialogue, because I found myself accidentally opening dialogue over and over again from being in contact with the NPC. Would also really appreciate if the game paused your input to allow you to interact with the dialogue menu.
  • It seemed like for me, the jump after the 2nd NPC was impossible? This might be due to framerate differences (I have a high refresh rate monitor), meaning that if you didn't multiply movement inputs by "delta," the physics might be behaving completely differently on different computers.

Overall, a neat little experience with an intriguing story that I wish I was able to get further into if it wasn't for that jump from the 7th to 8th platform being seemingly impossible on my end. Nice job!

Very surreal experience. The music and aesthetic was strange but nice. I couldn't get to the third NPC though. Not sure if I'm missing something.

I liked the kinda creepy vibe and for the short ride that it was there was a couple of fun platforming challenges and never fell into the trap of becoming way too hard.

There were some buggy interactions when trying to talk to the "consumables" where I had to work out the arrow keys would select dialog options and spam would accept but you could still move stuck in a direction. I think taking control away from the player and letting use the choose your dialogue option would have been easier.

All and all, I had some fun. Good job.
