I think maybe I didn't really get it. Like, I walked around, but I have no idea if there was something I should have been looking for or not. 
The dialog was nice. er. commentary? Also the music was pretty good. 

Developer

Thanks for the comments and you just need to go after 60 seconds you will have a choice what choice you make at this ending you will go out and the dark balls always tell you bad things.

It's a cool concept, especially for a game you made in a day. I wanted more gameplay, but from what you presented, I actually did see the trust no one theme. There was also some good social commentary messaging in the game; I felt maybe the message might've been a bit autobiographical? Either way, it was thought provoking, and the mood you created was a little unsettling. Good job!

Developer

Thank you very much for the comment and you are right that this game is a little based on the autobiography. I am also glad that you felt exactly what I wanted people to feel and thank you very much for playing the game.

Gameplay isn't Much but hey for it being made in one day great job honestly!, well put together i didn't run into any bugs while playing, and i took a message from this that again you shouldn't trust or let peoples judgements define you. but maybe i went a little too deep but thats what i took from it! good job none the less.

Thank you so much for your comment, you basically understood one of the meanings that I was trying to convey to people and I'm glad that you liked the game at least in some way and I'm also very glad that you did not find any bugs because I was scared that the game would have a lot of bugs

This is a very well-rounded project for just one day! It seems to run pretty well, it has good ambiance with the audio and the lighting. The text was a little hard to read sometimes, but not impossible. I think you did a great job managing your time!

Thank you very much for your comment. I'm really glad you liked the atmosphere. That's basically what I was trying to achieve in this game. I'll take problems with words and other problems in this game and will try to make a better version of the game or something similar in the future.

I see the idea, you would've killed it if u started earlier, well done!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for a comment, I agree with you. After all, I am working with a team on a slightly different project that has almost the same meaning and I hope the game will be much better than this one.

I liked the atmosphere and message. Wouldn't properly call it a game but a small interactive experience. Love the vibe and meaning. Good job in this!

Developer

Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you liked the game's meaning. I agree with you that this game looks more like something other than a game, like a small project or a very small mini-game in another game, but not like a game itself. I'll continue to do something similar. I hope that one day I'll get something much bigger and better than this.

I really liked the message of the game, but the gameplay is a bit lacking. But honestly considering it was made in less than a day, it looks amazing.

Developer

Thanks for the comments and I'm glad you liked the game message and in the future I'll try to create something better

Feels more like a game mechanic than a game. Atmosphere was good and fit the direction the creator was going.

Developer(+1)

I agree with you because I came to this Game Jam less than a day before it ended and I knew that I wouldn't have time to make a full game, so I made a short game and tried to create an atmosphere for it, but honestly I'm not sure that's what I wanted. And thank you for the comments

I mean you do what you can in the time that you have to do it. You made something and submitted it so that's what is important.

Developer

On the one hand, I agree with you, but on the other hand, it's my problem that I decided to participate in the Game Jam less than a day before it ended.
