Very cool with voice acting and everything. I didn't have any performance issues but the game was kinda confusing. But overall  I had fun and it was a nice experience, good job!

The voice acting and visuals are cool and immersed! However, I was hit with low fps when starting the intro cutscenes, seems like the trees made my laptop dropped to 10+ fps or so. Also, I wish can have some visual guidance especially at the later points of the game, the movement controls are weird as well, and I can "lift off" from the ground if I looked deep down.

By the way, I still hooked in with the mysterious atmosphere and voice acting, though!

Thanks! Yeah I didn’t have time to optimize the project and add more visual cues but they are needed. Thanks for the feedback! 😊

the visuals and audio really immersed me into the experience. however, gameplay was kind of confusing, i managed to scan all 3 anomalies but i couldnt find where and/or how to transmit the research data. the voice acting really put this game to the next level, especially for a gamejam with a deadline of 7 days!

Managed to get to the helicopter! Really liked the voice acting and narration, even if sometimes it didn't keep up with my actions. Great job :)

Incredible visuals, also the audio recordings pretty neat!

Very atmospheric! Excellent trees, and the lighting was impressive.

Hi there, just added an updated version with a lot of bug fixes. Adds about 70% ore content to the game.

Cool concept, I wish there was a little more visual guidance on where to go (or faster movement, if wandering is part of the experience). Mouse sensitivity was too low. Voice acting was cool! If there was anything past scanning the three anomalies, it didn't trigger for me, but this was cool! Good job!

yeah the audio broke after the opening act on upload. Will fix today and reupload.
