Great visuals - reminds me of the old dreamscape rpg maker games.

The main beef I have with the game is that the enemies do not yield any reward for the player, thus there is no incentive to fight them. To be fair to you though you did point out yourself that it is better to run. (But then we miss out on these amazing monster designs!!)

It's short but to the point and I did like the minimalist lore drop. Don't let story get in the way of a good game. Nice work overall.

Really cool artstyle, like a blend between Fear and Hunger and Hylics

Absolutely LOVE the subtle world-building and narrative elements at play here! The art is gorgeous and managing the resources of the bullets felt suspenseful and rewarding! I could see some Look Outside elements here (which is one of our FAVORITE games of all time)! The music and sound effects were super well-implemented as well and added to the unsettling nature of the setting! Very well done! 

The encounter rate was a little frustrating sometimes (most enemies can be juked, which I appreciated, but there wasn't really an incentive to grind enemies), but really overall this has been one of our favorite entries so far! Keep up the great work.

The game is very polished and the story is interesting, cool art style.
There are some tiles that shouldn't be pass through, like the black tiles, dark green tiles in the garden and you can clip outside of the bridge where the smile entity and hands are.
The music is maybe too low.
The end is a bit anti climatic, I guess you ran out of time, but still a great experience, good job.

Atmosphere really is perfect with the sound design and graphics, such a unique world I really love it.

The atmosphere and art style was excellent! I got invested in the story and world, and would've loved it to go on for longer.

If Desert Punk and Hylics had a serious and cool baby.
