The mood is through the roof. I love the audio, my only beef with the graphics (which is gorgeous) is that the player sprite is a bit boring. I also like how well designed the game is. Figuring out what to was just the right amount of a challenge. The only time I got a bit stuck was at the very last "puzzle"."},{"author_name":"vicious_br","author_uid":"36629","time":"Dec 15, 2014 @ 3:45am","epoch":1418614800,"text":"Erro in dropbox :("},{"author_name":"Kaijuu","author_uid":"46066","time":"Dec 15, 2014 @ 9:15am","epoch":1418634600,"text":"Wonderful graphics!"},{"author_name":"MrShoestore","author_uid":"20984","time":"Dec 15, 2014 @ 8:11pm","epoch":1418673960,"text":"look forward to playing this if you release a Mac build"},{"author_name":"Integershift","author_uid":"25019","time":"Dec 16, 2014 @ 12:20am","epoch":1418688900,"text":"Really really enjoyed this.

The way the game unfolds without any explicit direction other than the mysterious entities that show you what they want was done extremely well.
