  • I love it! The visuals and polish was amazing, and I love the surreal vibes! But there should've been a restart section button. Hated when I got stuck and hard to reload the page :(

We're needing to sacrifice communications for our ritual to Odin for 9 days and we're on day 3. We need to rethink how we have to find who we need to find in the dark - rethinking our beacons, our expressions, what to do in the absence of building wooden goats. This game seems like it could be fun to de-stress with but it is stressful to figure out solutions if you're already stressed? It looks cute and gloomy from the preview.

I loved this!  I got the boat past the first obstacle but couldn't work out how to reach the next boiler.

I like the art and atmosphere a lot, but I also got stuck immediately in the jump tutorial cavern :)

Developer

thank you and thanks for playing! Try to use everything to your advantage: Lantern itself, double jumping, totem to call lantern :)
