Pretty art style, creeped me out a lot. Just got stuck a few times that I weren't able to move and had to restart the game which is too bad. Beside that though well done!

Thank you very much for the kind words! We're glad you liked the art and the creepy vibes of the game! Sorry that you got stuck a few times though, we sadly didn't have time to playtest much and implemented a few things last second which probably broke some stuff, if we had more time we would've polished the experience more! We hope it wasn't too frustrating and was still enjoyable nonetheless!
Very cool art style and presentation. Feels very atmospheric but unfortunately the sound design is incredibly abrasive (in a bad way), even at low volumes. It's a shame because the sounds feel well executed, but are just far too harsh on the ears. It felt intuitive figuring out the puzzles and navigating the map, and the monster design was very cool, but pretty unforgiving in some of the places where it'd catch you.
You made some beautiful stylistic choices here. Was on the edge of my seat the entire time!
Sad but I actually can't move. I hear footsteps, but everything stays in place :(
It might be that you haven't pressed space to clear the dialogue window when the game starts! Sorry about that, the UI isn't entirely clear -- we should've made it so that the character isn't animated while a dialogue window is up to avoid this type of confusion. Let us know how you feel about the game if you give it another shot!
This is very good. you are always on edge because of the sounds. the ambience is very good.
