Nice survival horror game! The eyeball sun is a nice little surprise right at the start that hooks the players curiosity in a really neat way without dwelling on it too much. Wish things were a bit more tutorialized and objectives made clearer. It took me two runs in the dream world before I realized the thing on the ground was not rubble/level decor, but was the gun. I also kept having to redo runs because if I forgot to pick up the note after the boss because it wouldn't count for progression if I didnt get it, wish that was a condition to exit the level. Once I got going however and got past these issues it was a nice experience through the end. Nice work
Let out a Hank Hill-esque "BWAH" the first time I saw the eye. Really neat idea and loop. I fee like im missing something cause it kept saying Night 1 over and over no matter how many times I slept and woke up. Super super cool regardless. Love the idea of fitting your weapons onto your bed RE4 style
crazy freaky energy, the mystery & mood was super compelling. well done
The effect where you use the telescope to examine the eye and there's that shake going on is so sick, probably my favorite part of the whole package. The movement and shooting gave me a boomer shooter feeling - Serious Sam specifically - that I think could be a good foundation. Great music, too! That said I think I was missing something while playing, it seemed like I just kept looping through the first night?
What a weird little freak of a game. I loved it.
As someone who also made a game about meeting trapped in a spaceship and needing to do tasks and then sleep at the end of each day, I love what a different approach this is and it really does feel like a fever dream.
I feel like either I missed something or got myself into a weird endless loop at the end where I just kept having to slay the sun eye forever, or thats intentional and its a fun meta commentary.
A++ would shoot zombies again.
hmm that’s definitely not intentional but let’s say it is lol
Fun and spooky and vaguely Kafkaesque, I really enjoyed the visual style and environment.
Great fun to play, and very spooky environments in the dream world. The low poly aesthetic works quite well with the game's vibe, and the mechanics are fleshed out enough that I could see a lot of ways for y'all to expand on them further. I agree with others that more might be done to connect the dream world and the star to the narrative, but still, plenty of good game to chew on here!
I wasn't sure initially if there was progression but it seemed like the eyeball planet changes a bit overtime. It looks like maybe with the logs you can do more. Fun creepy and atmospheric
so eerie!! love the blinking eyeball star hahaha, loved the graphics and vibes, really liked the combatting!
Great audio especially! Not totally sure if I followed the plot in terms of how the star and the nightmares were connected or why, but the nightmare sections were fun, though I did feel a bit overpowered through most of it. The sword was particularly strong, since it could oneshot all the standard enemies, which lets you easily stack up ammo on whatever gun you like best for the bosses.
Very cool looking!! Liked the movement and it was fun to shoot things, cool vibe all around :)
Great creepy game! I really like the planet eye opening looking thru the telescope, such a fun striking visual. It did take me a second to realize you had to pick up the logs to progress, also it felt hard to see at times. Incredible game!
