I'm not sure how well it fits the theme of the jam but I gotta say it looks cute and the audio design it top notch. especially the cracking ice sound on the lake was a very nice touch.
The mix of 2D and 3d was mesmerizing. The animation on the main character made me just stare at it while i was running into the wall.
Gameplay wise though... I got stuck after i fetched water from the lake and the glowey things kept guiding me back and forth. Nice submission!
cozy cool game, very well amde mix of 2d and 3d, loved the aniamtions, the character design, and even for scared, bth the worse place in the whole game is over the lake.
Really loved the 2d and 3d mix! Nice atmosphere! Would love to have a run button to move around faster.
Art style is so good. I really enjoyed my time playing. Good job!
Nice little game, i like the character's animation and the visuals in general. Good vibe too, calm and uneasy.
Good job! =)
I enjoyed the writing a lot, but my god the visuals are STUNNING. The audio too is great, so extremely cozy.
Beautifull game with fun characters, well done !
The game atmosphere is really well done, the art style is crazy good, and the characters have all their personalities and quirks, which is nice. It was a bit unclear what to do but at the same time the exploration was nice, also I got a mid kind of ending which isn't very interesting.
The visuals look wonderful! I do feel like there should've been more to uncover but that's just me and my open-world brain. Nice submission! ^^
I’m not sure I fully understood what was going on or how to beat it (I got a middling ending, it seems), but the visuals were immaculate. It reminded me a bit of Paper Mario and A Short Hike! I loved the warm, cozy feel of it all–despite it taking place out in the freezing cold.
It's relieving to play a game with an untrustworthy vibe, rather than a game that tells you "make sure to jump on the spikes!" again! This was a gorgeous entry with some beautiful lighting and I love the effect of the cast shadows on 2D sprites, alongside the shaders. The dialogue was all cute and forboding and strange and it led to an atmosphere I was delighted to sink my teeth into for a little bit. An awesome time!
Great atmosphere, both audio and visuals. I like that the game is not just about "go here and fetch this" but rather it gives you room to explore and make choices.
wow the perspective of the game and the visuals are soooo good.
素敵な雰囲気のゲーム。私もサウナに入りたくなりました。 サウンドもキャラクターもとても良い!
Very cozy game! I really liked the atmosphere, the colors and the mix between 2D and 3D. The sound also fits the game very well. Good job!
The Visuals and Audio are outstanding and but it went from trust no one to trust not even this game. like i did what the game wanted me to do and still last message was...well the protagonist left hungy or somewhat. which ultimatly ruined the experience. the game was successful to keep me playing this but left me in delima that what even i played
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL! i love love love the 2.5d aesthetic and the ambiance of the game; really reminds me of adamgryu's untitled paper game demo. had to look at the guide because i kept getting mid endings by just. seasoning the sausage. very polished very fun
Really loved this and the multiple endings!
Absolutely love the sound design and the athmosphere. I got some nostalgia of walking through the cold winter woods at night to get back home to the nice hot fire from when i was a kid. Super cozy game and the 2.5D looks really good, love it!
It also gives me kinda the vibe of lego games, might be the ghost studs and environment hahaha
I'm not so sure about the theme fit tho, the characters all seem like some nice trustworthy folk id go to the sauna with lol
thank you so much for playing!! i'm happy to hear it brought a sense of nostalgia, i can also relate!
(SPOILERS)
did you get the "good" ending by following the wisps, where it turns out the main character is heating up the sauna to cook everyone? haha that's what we were going for with the theme, but i'm not sure if it came across well :D
