How I audibly gasped when starting that first scene XD I wasn't expecting that.
This is a very unique game and I like your take on purgatory with a very immersive environment despite its simplicity.
That being said I encountered a bug after collecting the fishing rod and cracking the safe. I was getting chased by the monster so I tried going to the light blue house, where I got stuck on a tile and I got wrecked by the monster ;-;
Please consider rating my game if you find the time! <3

Abracadaverslove love love the surreal and creepy imagery in this!! However, I was having some trouble figuring out how interactions with the memories work, unless I missed out on a control the yellow particle places or walking around it doesn't do anything, so I wasn't quite sure on the context there(though I did get the fishing rod). I also feel like if the map was smaller it would make the gameplay more engaging as to compensate for the amount of things that are interactable/give progression. Overall though really interesting world you made here, good work!

Gutteral DoomThank you so much for the input! I did stupidly decide to do all of the programming and debugging (besides the movement controls, which I did first) in one night, right before releasing it. That being said, I didn't take my time to put in any kind of tutorial (whoops!). The yellow glowing areas, being on the docks, are only interactive when you have the Fishing Rod. There's no specific controls to interact, you only need to get close to the object. Most of the memories (items) are collectable only if you have another specific item, and the Fishing Rod is the most important part. I classified this game as a puzzle game, so it may be very confusing, but if you keep exploring, there are 9 items you can collect in total. If you like my aesthetic, please feel free check out my other games!
You and another user too! I made this entry using Game Maker Studio 2, and I'm pretty certain my computer doesn't have any viruses (I get paranoid and scan it every once and a while). How disappointing :( EDIT: I did another full-computer scan using Malwarebytes, and it detected nothing, so I'm really not sure what it could be.
Hi !
I don't understand if there is a fighting mecanic or if you're meant to flea ? I managed to open one chest and I liked the hint.

Wilde Funeral HomeAs the Devil mentions in the beginning, this world is made of memories, so everything that happens in this world has figuratively already happened. There's no actual way to lose, and the hearts are a red-herring. Keep exploring, some of the items you find will help you find other items, and if you find them all, you might be able to see your mommy again ;) Sorry for the confusion.
