I really liked the audio design, it is immersive. It was fun to discover what happens when you do defy the prediction and wonder about who is having this conversation. The descriptions of different events were well fleshed out and made it easy to picture.

Hi! I'm really glad you liked it :) I delivered the message to the audio designer and he is very happy, too. Thank you for playing <3

great work! maybe higher player stakes? "the secret" is a cool idea, would like to see how it could it impact player decisions beyond perception!

Developer

Hi! Thank you for the appreciation :D I'm really curious to know what do you mean by "how it could it impact player decisions beyond perception". Do you think the game could benefit if the bones roll affected the events of the game themselves and not just “how the protagonist/player perceives them”?

yes! it would require MUCH more time, but yes.

The story and usage of the "bones" mechanics were quite interesting! I enjoyed it. I played through it a couple of times, but I think my favorite ending was the mushroom eating.  

Developer

Thank you so much! It's so nice hearing that you played more than one time, really!

Of course! I should have also mentioned that the prehistoric setting was really fascinating. You don't really ever see that kind of stuff, so I have to commend you on the attempt! I really liked it.
