What a cool demo!!! This definitely seems like an ambitious project, but what you have so far already feels incredibly compelling. Haunted planets is always a cool place to start, and even the few snippets we've seen of them make the characters seem really intriguing. I'm also super impressed with your graphics! All the lighting and 3d effects are really well-composited, and set the vibe nicely. Excited to see more in the future!

Hi, N42C?! I played and voted for your game on stream and I'm posting here for your own feedback and promotion. Would be happy if could rate and comment your thoughts on my game submitted to this jam! Enjoy and thanks for your consideration. - Kyle

Interesting setting! I just started getting into the story but it ended too quickly. I would love to see more. Hope you continue working on the game.

Hey, absolutely fantastic entry — really solid work!

The writing is excellent: well-paced, intriguing, and already showing some real character depth. The art and cinematography are both beautiful, and I’m really impressed by the overall audio and music quality too.

I’ll definitely be following to check out any future updates.

Amazing work! 👏
