I was amazed by the sound design and the art style ! Very effective ! I've reached the final level, and decided just to leave, not using the gun. I'll come to play it again to see the other end (if there is one ?) That is such a good game, great work all !

Developer

Thank you so much! It was a blast to work on and everyone on the team is super talented!

end you say?!?  mwahahahaha

Developer

Amazing ambiance, especially the sound! Everything is very unsettling. If I were any good at platformers, I'd definitely play more of it, but instead I just keep hurling myself into holes.

Developer

Thanks for the kind words! The ambience  was really fun to work  on this time  :D

I feel like you were inspired by Little Nightmares. That’s a very ambitious direction! Considering you only had 4 days to make it, it turned out pretty well. I guess I made the right choice at the end since I killed them all… or did I?))

I feel called out as I did indeed have little nightmares images open on the other monitor.  XD
Thank you for your kind words!

The 3d art, lighting and environments in this game are absolutely astounding, Super impressive that you made this many levels that look this good in such a short amount of time!! I wish the hits / kills gave a bit more feedback but either way really good stuff!

Developer

As the environment artist/art director on this project, that means the world. Such kind words, thank you!!

Cool game, I was able to make it to the end but it took a bit before I realized how to not get caught by the spider thing, I see a lot of work went into it and really love the 2.5D style. I would love if it got polished up, added music etc. But nice job!

very nice ambience, reminds me of little nightmares/limbo! Sometimes my spear didn’t move when thrown, but other than that it was very good, and overall it was very well made!

the needle getting stuck mid air has lore implications, trust me 100%

Developer

surely

Finished the game, very solid controls and graphics. Kinda felt like Limbo at first. The combat is a bit wonky as the needle sometimes just suspends in the air. I liked the platforming sections, I think there were a few tight jumps. 

I think the scary unknown entity is something I only saw in the start. Was a little random when I saw it and I didn't see it much again for the 2nd half of the game.
