Amazing work on the animations and the 3d character and level design! That ain't easy and it looks great here! reminds me of the N64 era of gaming in a good way! I got "lost in the dark" and I was not sure at all what was happening. Not sure if darkness communicates what you're meaning it to here? was it time or was I off the path? I'm still not sure. At first the slow movement was a bit of a slog. I know that the mouse is injured but still wanted a faster movement option. I also thought I'd be able to go though the grass / plants and was a bit let down when it was a barrier. Obviously this is used all over the place in video games but not sure why it had to be done here.
I love the start menu! Super cool that it leads right into the gameplay!! Love the visuals here. I also echo that the camera movement was not the most natural but also not a deal breaker for me.
I never did find where that spool of thread was supposed to go but its enough to make me curious! Cool stuff again amazing work on the look and graphics of this experience!
