Normally I'm impatient during cutscenes, but your opening was spot on, and really put me in the right vibe to travel through your maze. Speaking of, I also love mazes so this was wonderful. The sound on the nothing box was really satisfying, too. I think I would have loved to have been able to sprint or something, since wrong turns happen in mazes. But, overall, super cool!

Cause whatever that was it was soooo good. Amazing atmosphere, love the movement on the big shrub models, the overall style of this game was just incredible.\n\nWould love to see more levels, especially if some puzzle elements were added. This has serious potential and I hope you expand on it after the jam is over.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Nisovin","author_uid":"1143894","time":"2019-10-08T03:53:02Z","epoch":1570506782,"modified":1570506782,"text":"Very nice looking game.

Love the art direction, the mood and atmosphere.\n\nI was ok with the intro the first time, but there really needs to be a way to skip it subsequent times. I know I know this is a game jam, but that makes it even more important, honestly. After I died a second time, I just called it. Was curious to know what was at the end of the maze, it looked interesting over there.\n\n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Reo","author_uid":"1168421","time":"2019-10-08T13:27:18Z","epoch":1570541238,"modified":1570541238,"text":"Really nice atmoshpere, beautiful music and dound design !!

Environment and level layout is great, the concept of walking through a maze is good, but better when there is enemies lurking around, giving the player this tension. Moreover, the concept of using nothing as something is very interesting, so great job on that. Nevertheless, great game and hope you guys have fun while making it.

Enemies are not dangerous at all, the maze is almost linear. The game is played in about 5 minutes, which is good. So, the game is just a walk from one point to another.
