Well made atmospheric game! Unfortunately, the puzzles were too brutal for me to follow because the signs pretty much doesn’t lead me to anywhere that can solve the puzzle needed to beat the game (or I may be just stupid), so I couldn’t finish it :(

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yeah the game is too difficult unfortunately, there’s two kinds of signs and you’re only supposed to follow the red ones and the path of signs spawn along the way as you follow them, the diagonal pathing is a little off too due to diagonal movement being slightly different on keyboard vs touch that I used to make the game. Appreciate the kind words though!

great atmosphere but the puzzle was just to hard to figure out and there wasn't enough aha moments along the way to finishing the game. was unable to finish it

Developer(+1)

Definitely! The point about aha moments is great criticism, and something I’ll take with me. Otherwise the puzzles are definitely too difficult unfortunately, and that’s on me! Thanks for the feedback, truly appreciated!

Looks good, I'm constantly getting lost when trying to follow the signs, it's sometimes a bit difficult to see what direction they exactly point to, and sometimes it just feels like they lead nowhere. I wasn't able to solve it, but it had a great atmosphere, very mysterious. And I like the magnifying glass mechanic

Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback! Yeah since I developed the game on touch there’s a slight path finding discrepancy compared to keyboard unfortunately. There’s also two different kinds of signs and you’re only supposed to follow the red ones, but the pathing doesn’t help with the confusion and the clues were too ambiguous I think, but I am glad you enjoyed it either way! Thank you so much for playing

The game looks super dope. The controls are smoothed and the amphoteric is great. I Tried doing the puzzle a couple of time. I don't get where I am suppose to go? Will the game dev tell me his secret :D

Developer

The puzzles are a bit too confusing and difficult unfortunately, there’s two kinds of signs if you only follow the red ones you may find the puzzle easier to solve. There’s a path finding discrepancy between keyboard and touch as well and since I developed the game on touch it’s a bit of a problem that I didn’t catch during testing unfortunately. Thank you so much for playing, the feedback and for the kind words I really appreciate it.

Very cool game, love the atmosphere, reminds me of minit but if it were unnerving as hell, the childrens laugh track was way to scary for little old me! Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the kind words, happy you enjoyed it!

Developer

Nice and thank you for the feedback! sorry about the puzzles I know they’re a bit confusing.

A little too confusing. I wasn't exactly sure where to go and kept dying. I found the balloon and the magnifying glass thing was cool.

Developer

Yeah, it’s unfortunate the game was a bit too difficult and confusing but I appreciate the kind words and that you gave it a shot! Thank you
