Game description
Story of a lost person.
Hints:
- You can and should double jump
- To pass the bridge, look carefully at what beneath your feet and use voice as your conductor
- If it is hard for you to navigate through cave, you could either disable line draw by pressing L or just skip level by double pressing K
Theme interpretation
I interpret theme as actual waves. Sound wave and energy wave.

Really beautiful concept, and executed well.
Quite frustrating in the caves but I get that it's not supposed to be easy and that was a design choice.
The music eased my frustrations in the darkness!
Great job guys :)
The music and art is absolutely beautiful! The platforming required in the cave seems a little unforgiving, a lot of the time it seems like you have to make the absolute perfect jump, and since you can't see where you're going very well, can cause issues with navigation and making that jump. Other than that, the game is absolutely beautiful to play and listen to! Amazing job!
I like the echolocation gameplay and the art definitely. The music is pretty pleasant to listen to too.
Beautiful game, with amazing potential! Could I have some help getting through the cave though? There's a spot that looks like where I should go through... but I keep getting stuck, and I have to refresh the page since I can't get out. I'm just not sure where to go and I've tried a few times to figure it out but I just keep falling! I'd love to explore more but I just can't get past that one spot.
Think I’ll add skip level or go to next checkpoint feature. Also restart level should be implemented I guess. Thank you for feedback!
Hey there! Added skip option and some minor improvements
whoa awesome!! I'll do another playthrough soon! The visuals and mechanics of this game are really lovely so I'm excited to see more of it :)
The watercolor is amazing work, however the cave is very hard to get through. Maybe more sections with light to serve as checkpoints would help.
you think checkpoints would solve the problem? or should I better add skip level option? i heard a lot about hardness of cave level so i’m really thinking about that
Love the title screen. Very nice hand drawn art - the cave though is very hard to navigate. I couldn't make it past that unfortunately. Good entry to game jam good job
Beautiful game, reminds me a lot of Gris. The main character might be a little too similar but everything else just has the same vibe! The watercolor effect on the dress is nice, and I appreciate some of the little details like letting go of the jump button to stop rising immediately, and the cool voice visualization! The characters are interesting and there's some mystery around what's going on here.
I got stuck at the bridge by Kitten sadly, but I see what I missed from other comments here! I'm gonna give it another go!
The art style is great
Platforming in the dark was a little too difficult even with the yell ability I had trouble making progress. The theme interpretation is really cool and the music and art are fantastic. Nice Work!
I can feel GRIS by playing this game
well, can tell gris is source of inspiration for sure)
this game is BEAUTIFUL! I love the watercolor and the music fits so well. It plays smoothly too, I just couldnt figure out how to get past the bridge :( gorgeous submission, great job!
In case you want to pass the bridge, you need to collect two type of gears. First one is 3 toothed one, it is on the right part of bridge. Try to use your voice to jump over invisible blocks.
