This was a pleasure to play :)

The sound design was superb, and the visuals were awesome. I accidentally ran it on "fastest" settings, leading to a lot of aliasing, but it actually added to the atmosphere. I really enjoyed playing this. It didn't seem to fit the theme very much, but was nonetheless an excellent atmospheric game. Nicely done :)

Also, I had some trouble downloading it from itch.io, I had to download it through their app. Maybe check to see if your links are set up properly?

I'd love to give this a go but the download is failing to complete for whatever reason. Bookmarking the entry to try later.

@TTFTCUTS Try downloading it from the itch.io desktop app, that worked for me.

At first the wind was loud, but the music quickly meshed with the ambiance and I was moving along mostly to just hear the music play. The sound of the wind nearly took me to a zen like state. Well done!

Nice music, but I did not notice shapeshift

I enjoyed it alot! Visually stunning however it didn't shine conceptually...pleasure to play:)

I had high hopes when I downloaded this game but I was met with disappointment. The story is non-existent, graphics was below average but the saving grace was the calm music which I enjoyed. I wish this game did better.

I enjoyed the scenery but I was a little disappointed with the end = / , Tip : a counter parts or mini map would be useful .

I enjoyed it for what it is - an short, atmospheric experience. Well done!

I see what you were trying to do, but there's no real ambiance here, nor real exploration to be had, just the same thing repeated over and over. I like that you can walk between the trees as opposed to them being just a solid wall; i wish you would've done something with that, as temporarily losing myself in the forest was the most interesting part in this experience for me.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Nice entry, was really cool to play. Please have a look at my game, too.

Hi, please keep in touch about your review :) i'd like to chat with you about how to do that thing you mentioned on my game better! :)

As for my review, this is absolutelly stunning. everything is very well put togather and every single aspect of this entry makes the whole experience really compelling.

It looks a little bit unrelated to the theme though, not really much of a problem, if i may say

I loved the audio and mood! I didn't see the connection with the theme, though.

I really enjoyed the audio in this game. I found myself unsure where the meaningful bounds of the woods were, so I just walked through the trees until I left the play area. It would be helpful to supplement the super dense trees with an actual invisible wall so the player doesn't wander way off course. At the end, I wasn't sure if the white screen was the end of the game or not, as there was a slight period of silence before the game returned to main menu. Overall, the game was serene and pleasant. I also enjoyed the main characters walking animation cycle.

I very much enjoyed this. The peaceful walking around looking for things. I got a bit annoyed when I hit a dead end and figured I needed to trail back, but instead tried the trees and what do you know I could walk between them. Very nice. At one point I trailed out of the forest but decided to turn back so I didn't chance upon a dragon or worse. At one point I felt like it would have been good to get some feeling for where the initial clearing was located compared to where I were and how many more thingies I needed to collect. Just about to say, enough when I got one more. The last one I needed. And then heading back was surprisingly easy. So very nice indeed. Really balancing on the edge of where I was about to dismiss it and quit early, so maybe some stronger feedback about progression and orientation. Possibly not needing to collect all discs but only a fraction of them (and then destroy the remaining). Also I much liked the walking animation, but it felt like it didn't always properly show the direction I was heading. Just a minor complaint. As a whole a very good game.

Playing this game was a nice experience, but I didn't notice any shapeshifting.

Great job with the music, it is very pleasant to play. I have no idea where is the "shapeshift" theme but who cares? I liked it a lot.

Please put "Windows" in the download link :), so I don't have to find out myself I can't play it on OSX

This was nice. Really nice.

I felt kinda disappointed at first but I decided to explore and play around a bit, but as I started collecting more... I notice a few things. The fog would get stronger, I could no longer hear my own footsteps things started becoming kinda unstable and the music... started to have a different effect on me.

In the end, I got scared but was at the same time really curious, I guess this game is kinda symbolic and I felt like it had some sort of a deeper meaning.

I couldn't see the theme but maybe it was that core thingy that got bigger.

Either way this was a great atmospheric game, good job.

It is a good idea but I couldn't see to shapeshift or something related to the theme also I was able to go deep in the woods and walk for ever, Its is a good idea though.

I realy liked the mood and the little sounds! It had a very cool "Titan Souls" feel to it.

We walked all around de skogen and found all the swirly stones. Then we walked in the portal- the ending is a little anticlimactic but the mood is good. Half expected slenderman to show up at a couple points.

I must say that the "jazz walk" cycle sort of throws off the mood, however hilarious it is.

loved the walk cycle those legs! Also nice job with the music fit the game very well.

This art style is amazing!

Great visual and audio design. You did a great job at setting the mood, though I didn't see a real connection to the theme.

Well, the graphics seemed weirdly blurry, but then it turned out it's Unity giving fastest settings as default. Pffft!

Overall, quite an atmospheric entry, particularly in terms of music; the graphics and special effects were good, too, but I'd really like to have some more variety in trees or obstacles or something (rocks, what happened to the poor rocks?! D:) so that the exploration isn't getting too monotonous. Oh, also, the step sounds were a bit too loud for my taste, and sometimes they sounded weird (more like some cracking than stepping, I dunno).

Two things I still don't get: the ending, and how this game is related to shapesifting. ^^'

Wow, that was artful (and I don't mean that in a bad way). It was very stimulating to play; by its visuals, simplicity and atmosphere. Being able to outright walk through the forest was a pleasant surprise.
