Really creepy story. I love that on the first choice there is "Go home" choice :D Made me laugh. Getting the artifact and returning with knowledge seems like it fits the theme too. Well done

Interesting entry with nice sound design. Reminded me of some of the games I played growing up in the 80s.
One small thing of note: I played with headphones on and I started to find the sound that plays when you progress the story to be distracting from the story and other sounds going on after a while.
One thing that can sometimes help with a repetitive sound is to change the pitch of it ever so slightly each time so it doesnβt seem as repetitive.
But I wonder if a less ominous sound would work, like the turning of a page or just a click.
Still a very cool mood with all the sounds, art and story!
Incredible to have been made in a week! The prose is great and combined with the visual style successfully transported me into the world. Going to the cabin to make friends and harvest tubers was a highlight ^_^
I love the art. I got ending 2. Honestly was really cool, Its seems so long too, that is a lot of writing to have 5 different endings. Super impressive for a week of work.
Very cool!
I enjoyed the art style very much. Reminds me of a book called "Vermis" if you've seen it?
Interesting game, not much of a fan of visual novels but the spanish version intrigued me since I am trying to learn it.
The art style and sound fit together very well. I only got to one ending witch I assume is "the ending"
My guess is that the idea behind the game is to have courage, tho I may be wrong since I haven't explore other endings.
My spanish is not great so I can't say that I understood everything I have read =).
The story is nice, it reminds me of a recent book I read and enjoyed.
I would mby skip some of the filler narration in some places as it doesn't really add any value to the story.
Overall is a great game that I enjoyed, good job and good luck!
Glad you enjoyed the game. Yeah dude, play the other endings, they're quite different. I'll have to agree with the filler narration, it was kinda hard for me to know what to include or not, so I'll take note for next projects. And I tried to keep the writing on the simpler end cause I don't write much, so I'm glad you tried the spanish version, there's probably some grammatical errors I didn't catch in both languages tho.
Also, did you try the web version? I think in some operative systems it looks crisp and in others blurry, I still don't know how to solve that.
Thank you dude! Glad you enjoyed it. Did you find any serious spelling errors or anything in general you think could be improved? I had to run to make the translation.
Also, I'm downloading your game right now. I already love the itchio page. It's also kinda funny that so many games have some kind of eye theme somewhere. Knowledge = Eye??
I didn't see anything... but I'm not a native english speaker, so maybe I just missed them! Even IF there were mistakes, I think the game having two languages available is already impressive! I just default to english because I'm lazy XD
Yeah, everyone loves to have creepy eye balls looking at them π
