What a lovely weird game (in a very creative way). I kept trying to find different ways to die to see what sort of dialogues would pop up, kinda reminds me of the stanley parable where you're constantly checking for new interactions. I also got kinda stuck after the house on fire part, but I really enjoyed walking around. The art and mood is also superb. Great job!
That's the best complement! :) I wish you'd been able to see the end! Glad you saw stuff you liked. Thanks for playing. :D
Howdy! Thanks so much for your feedback and playing. We've just launched a new version based on some of your feedback. We'd love to know what you think! Thanks have a great day!
I don't really get what are you supposed to do here, but it looks really cool! I really like all the fuzzy effects in games

The art and music are amazing.
The downside is that the web version is a bit laggy, and I wasn't able to explore thoroughly.
I hope you can upload the Windows version later.
like it :)
Instantly very impressed with the visuals and the vibe, but then I was instantly disappointed with the controls, and after going through the loop maybe six times I couldn't continue. I really feel that had the character controls felt better I would have enjoyed this game ten times more!
Thank you and yes totally understand! The controls really let us down and we did try and invest time in improvements that just didn't come together. You got close to the end! I think there's a bug that mean if you go out of world twice it won't catch it. Thanks for playing and feeding back though!

I really love the mood of this game! And the death narrative each time is great. I got a bit confused with the controls and what to do after the burning house because after that I kept dying by walking off the level...but overall I really like the atmosphere and how this game feels. Would love this as a fully fledged game

Really gorgeous and creative. I fell out of the world and was wondering if I'd found a secret because it did kill me haha.
Wonderful entry!
That's so nice of you to sayyyy thank you! There's actually is something out of the map but needed more testing to make it work! Thank you for playing and feeding back!

Good game, creative idea, fun to play.
Just needs some additional bug fixing and polish :)

Holy style! I love the look of this game!
Take a look at my game as well if you dont mind.
Great game!
I loved music and visual style. How did you achieved that screen dotted effect?
Controls were confusing sometimes, i managed to walk right while facing down, for example. Made it harder to shoot. Overall it's great, good job!
Thank you so much! It's a dithering effect applied to the main camera. Wish I'd been able to fix up the controls but spent a couple hours on improvements and wasn't able to get it much better in the time. Thanks for playing! :D

art style is amazing and effects are well done
controls are quite hard to understand though
didn't understand why I died sometimes
really loved animations and visuals, great job
Ahhh thank you for your lovely comments! Controls needed some work but we just ran out of time and went with what we had. Thanks for playing! :D

as other commentors have said, lots of rough edges with the controls, it's hard to aim and one time i died by walking off the edge and the environment blocked the death dialogue D: (but my game is really buggy too haha, that's how it is with game jam constraints XD)
but despite these, i kept coming back after each death to explore more; the atmosphere of the game is really captivating!! the visuals contributed really well to this atmosphere, and i like that the changed you've caused each life (eg setting the house on fire, your corpses, killed enemies) remain there after each death.
it's a bit unclear what actually changes each death (other than being killed by the snake letting you shoot fire?), it took me a while to figure out that you seem to become immune to whatever has previously killed you? (leading to me walking off bounds and falling infinitely, haha. i had to restart the game after that though :( )
and it's a bit unclear what you can and can't do: i tried blasting the castle doors with fire, thinking we were meant to explore the castle that way but it didnt work, so it was surprising when i suddenly lit the house on fire trying to burn down the bushes XD (i'm still not sure if we can actually enter the castle lol)
overall, i had a lot of fun with this!! spent quite a lot of time on this game, i would love to see this expanded into a larger game with a longer storyline and more unlocks!!!

The art and design look so cool :3 :3 :3
This game is amazing!
Thank you ever so much! :)))
Cool game, definitely will play again, but for me its hard. 9/10
You think so!? Thank youuuu! :D
Really great work on the art, sound, and music, all contributing to a strong and consistent style. And nice job integrating the theme (I liked how the knight interacts to seeing you come back after dying). Navigating the world is a bit finnicky, but the environment kept me wanting to explore even if it was a bit hard to, nice job!
Ahhh thank you ever so much! :)))) Thanks for playing and giving your feedback to our little time.

Absolutely adore the visual style, it all compliments itself perfectly and would love to see a full game like this, As others have said, the controls are a little hard to get used to, but polishing this is super hard with the constraints of the jam. Super super good job!!!

Ahhhh thank you! It's a shame we didn't get the controls feeling better as it let us down. But overall we are happy people see the overall positive stuff. Thanks for playing. :)
Of course! This would be so cool to see developed on in the future!! I had the same problem with our game so I fully get it :) You can give it a try if you'd like!

Graphics are very cool. I like the visual effects
Thanks so much, :) !!!
I love the art and atmosphere of this game! Like some others said, I had a bit of trouble figuring out where I could walk and which keys I needed to press to move in the direction I want but I'd really like to see more of this style!
Thanks so much! We did try and spend some time polishing this but we didn't quite land this as well as we wanted. I'd love to go back and push this more and get cool puzzles in! Thanks for playing. :)))

Just played your new web version and I didn't have any issues controlling the character this time. It felt much more natural!
Ahhh that's great! Thanks so much for coming back to play and feedback. :)
