Wow I LOVED the vibes!! The colors and the environments were all really cool, I had a lot of fun exploring and interacting with everything. Great job!!

Submitted

Really neat entry! Lots of mystery in the world, I did a second playthrough just to pick different choices to see what happened. Great work!

Submitted

Such an eerily beautiful game! The writing was really great, and I enjoyed Edrin's dialogue and musings. It only ended too quickly, I would have loved even more but I get that nine days is not a lot of time. Nicely done!

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're really glad you enjoyed the game.

You're absolutely right. We had so many more ideas we wanted to explore but had to prioritize for the jam timeline. Really appreciate you taking the time to play and comment!

I enjoyed the story. Some of the scenes were beautiful! I also enjoyed the background music, though found myself wanting to hear more SfX to make the world feel complete. Especially in the town scenes. I thought where to go was always clear which is great! I didn’t feel like I had much impact though. More of a visual novel you can walk around in. Over all really nice entry!

Developer

Thank you so much!

You've definitely got a point in regard to the SfX. We'll work on creating a more immersive overall experience in the future, especially in making the player feel like there are consequences to different actions. Thanks a lot for taking the time to review the game, really appreciate it!

BEAUTIFUL! It is short but it packs so much in! I love the character development you get with just a few bits of dialogue. I want to know more about the hermit! Music/sound design and art were both excellent as well!

Very happy to hear you're hooked on the story and enjoyed playing! Thank you!

Wow, this pixel art is just breathtaking. And the story can also remain in the memory. Well done.

Developer

The pixel artwork, especially for the forest scenes, was really impressive!

Developer

Thanks a lot! So glad you liked the art!

Really liked the story, and the pixelated artwork. The music goes nicely with it as well.

It tried playing twice and got the same ending, is there a different one?

Thanks for submitting

Developer

Thanks for playing! We really appreciate the kind words about the story, art and music.


We're sorry you experienced a bug that shows the same ending. We'll definitely look out for that kind of mistakes in the future and ensure the player feels like he is having more impact on the story. Thank you so much for taking the time to play it multiple times, it means a lot!

Really solid storytelling, you manage to do a lot with relatively little.

Developer

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Enjoyed the dialog and the art. +1 to not entirely understanding the consequences to the actions. Kept getting the same ending.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!


We'll work on making this more clear in the future

Nice little game, cool artstyle and sfx, interesting dialogues but the choices didn't feel impactfull

Developer(+1)

Thank you! It's true that the choices could've had more impact. Something we'll work towards in the future.

Super fun game. The dialogue was really fun and clever and the artstyle is GORGEOUS! I loved the few choices you could make but I do wish there were a few more. Super fun game! Great experience!

Developer

Thank you! We definitely wanted to add more content but time didnt allow.

LOVED the visually. The art is stunning and I really liked all the little side pop ups you can get from interacting with the world. Well done :)

Developer

Thanks!

The game visual looks awesome. The sense of "decay" was a bit weak in my opinion but it was pretty cool.

Also the froggo in the beginning was so cute.

Developer(+1)

 I do believe we could've made the theme stronger as well. Something to improve on for us. Appreciate the feedback!
