this is super interesting! lots of neat mechanics, like a mini metroidvania. it feels like you wanted to take the mindspace further? i think that wouldve been cool anyway.
the map is really big and i got lost quite a bit but it was enjoyable
also reallly good sounds/music and visuals :smile:

This is probably the best game of the jam. I like the main characters name: "M".

This is incredibly polished, and the aesthetic works beautifully with the atmosphere. Because of that, I found it incredibly satisfying to play! Additionally, the story was compelling enough to keep me playing until the end. You have made an amazing game!

This was such a cool experience! Unfortunately I ended up getting quite lost at the start and found those narrow angled corridors pretty annoying. Despite this I was still enthralled and am still left wanting more! Wish we could have seen more of the introspect mode as there is a ton of opportunity within that mechanic. Awesome work though, very well done!

Don't know what just happened. Very epic.

This is sweet! I hope you expand it, I'd love to see it taken a bit farther (especially the mind mechanic, which I feel could go a lot of interesting places). Good job!

Also, thank you for uploading a Mac version :stuck_out_tongue:

Interesting work ! I really felt lost in the void but you found a way to distilate enough to make me keep going :)

Visually stunning though a bit dizzying at times.

wow.. that was surely an experience. i loved everything about it! the sound, the art, the story. even tho everything was so minimalistic and simple, it had its charm. got kinda lost at the start of the game but because i explored the whole map before getting the flower, it was easier to progress. i also enjoyed just bumping into walls, corners and psionics lol. good job!!

Definitely one of my favorites from this jam. It really fits the theme in an abstract kind of way and the story and sound effects were really good!

I would love to see this get expanded into a longer game!

Amazing game. The "gamefeel" is perfect, sounds, graphics, controls, everythings runs great. My only problem its maybe that the maps its too large and its easy to get lost, or don't know exactly where I'm goeing. But also this get the game more mysterious vibes. Anyway. Excellent, congratulations!
I'll follow your works on itch.io for sure

Really really cool game, I love the exploration, though I definitely felt quite lost at first. Didn't help that I missed the first upgrade when I started. Visuals are so nice, and the music works super well with them. Great work!

Fun game with engaging story. Some white blinking could be toned down a little. My eyes hurt when that happened ;)
