Spot on theme and atmosphere. I enjoyed the SFXs very much too. Well done!

The Withering HeroThere’s something special about this game. It’s not entirely clear how to avoid the worm, especially when you can’t move.
It could turn into something really interesting. It would be great to mix up the gameplay a bit.

Dossier: InnsmouthThe desert atmosphere works well & the sound design is amazing, especially when the worm is about to show. The themes of decay in this game land strongly & the overarching story too. The worm is annoying tho, there should be better ways to avoid it, or at least better understanding on how. I also think shrines should be safer, I understand the worm coming after you finish a shrine but mid process is tough. Overall I really enjoyed the game, the atmosphere and themes especially.
I like the desert storm effect and the huge monster. Interesting "getting weaker" mechanics adds to the horror atmosphere.

Cosmic TeethGreat short game concept with some minor bugs and issues that marred my playthrough. The sandworm got caught slowing the game down, and the particles making the sandstorm get too close to the player camera occasionally blinding me in an unpleasant way. I wish there was a grace period around the obelisk so i didn't get eaten while performing the objective.
That's all the critique out of the way tho, the low poly models are right up my alley and the atmosphere you've created encapusaltes the theme perfectly. the ending is engaging and you had me on the edge of my seat! great job c:

Thermal RunawayGreat use of the low poly art! Sounds and art were great, with nice and simple gameplay. I died once but it was a quick enough game that I was completely happy to jump back into it to try again. Well done!

What Lies BeneathDid you watch Dune recently by any chance? :P Really great game and atmosphere. It was a bit too unforgiving for my taste - I lost two times right before the last altar, and it was tough starting over again after that. But honestly loved your game.

The Lazarus ProjectTook me 3 tries, but I did it (the tip after dying was useful as it turns out). Loved the atmosphere and the graphics!! especially the graphics I swear it adds to the experience sooo much for me. After the first attack I had to turn my volume down a bit, not gona lie almost spilled my tea. Also and I don't mean this as an insult, but this game was longer than I initally expected, a really nice surprise. At two points in the game I thought okay this will surely be the end, but no there was more!
Great game, really enjoyed it!!
