Cool idea! It's really cool to walk through the forrest, could see that it took a lot of time to create this landscape! Had horror vibes and even parts of cinematography, hahah :) Good job!

It took me a little while to get the premise... Then it was a bit too intimidating to take on. The large map works against the idea, with no simple onboarding to teach you the basic premise before it balloons outwards. What method am I supposed to use to count my steps? With no sound footstep effects, even crouch walking everywhere does me very little good because I have to now exactly how far I travel when holding the digital input.

This is fundamentally a solid idea for environment puzzle lovers like me. The atmosphere is very nice and evokes a classic story of a "before world" with very simple tricks. The ambition is sound even though the game is a tower to climb.

Great artwork and a great atmosphere. Wish I could say more, but Icarillius' review is pretty much on point and I didn't want to repeat it. Wished more people played it.

Immersion in this game is amazing. The camera view changing at the brigde gave me a little jumpscare haha. Sound and map design gave the game really good immersion, I felt so lost and it was beautiful but creepy at the same time. 

Had a fun time with this game!

Really nice little project, the spraying mechanic was pretty cool. The camera changing in areas gave it a nice feel in places, like I was being watched! Was a nice moment walking back into the camp later on in the game, really helped with my sense of direction for sure. Good game, well done.
