Interesting artsy experience. I didn't particularly have too much fun with it, however I commend the innovation of the concept and thinking outside the box approach

This should be in a modern art gallery.

An interesting experience, evevn though I have no idea what the purpose is, if there is any at all. But the mood in itself is quite cool. I don't get if the background making all those weird shapes is something you wanted or a bug.

It was a weird experience. The last minute of the game really feeled like I'm in a forest.

So strange, because my platform is Win 7 x64 too. Maybe it's not a reason.

That was weird... Too much mushrooms...
Great work on sounds and atmosphere !
I was surprised when it ended, and it left me a strange feeling. I think it could be quite frightening with even more visual glitches and flashes !

Wow weird and cool! I don't know if I reached the end of the game, just a black screen. I love the gradation in the landscape and in the sounds! You grow a forest and then the forest gets you. 5/5 for the theme and graphics.

Really liked this one overall. Great sound effects - loved how they changed as things started growing, and how the overwhelming visual & sound effects were followed by silence and nothingness (guessing that was intentional, but I liked it either way).

Really neat visual effects, but that's really all.

Strange atmosphere, I liked the psychedelic feeling at the start, but it lacks some depth or real evolution so we quickly see everything it has to offer. It's a bit deceiving as the first impression is weird and surprising!

The music sounds glitchy, with some dings and bonks? But it made the atmosphere feel like a forest... haha.

After a few minutes trees started to spawn in me. Bug?

It's not a bug. How one of the players said "You grow a forest and then the forest gets you". Something like that.

It's too bad it's not much of a game, but it is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for making this!
