Nooooo :'( We'll post a new message when we'll able to export to OpenGL. Sadly faced some issues with the built and needed some rest.

Really great experience! I enjoyed the style and the audio really puts you in that "mystical story" mood.

Well done.
The only thing I could complain about is: I think I had all 3 endings, but not sure. It would have been great to known if we've unlocked them (like to get the ending # on the credit page maybe?)

Great game! We once tried to make a mostly text based game for a game jam and it was a whole lot of work to make it interesting, so I'm impressed you pulled it of so well :D

I think overall the idea is very nice, I love the audio and art! But I tried several times and I don't think I got to the other two endings. It was a little bit confusing to find out what you need to do for this game

I enjoyed playing this. I might at one or two points accidentally double-clicked (maybe add something to make it hard to accidentally do that) and thus missed some of the content, but what I got was really nice!

The music and art were really good. The writing was fairly good too but I don't entirely understand how the endings work.

This game is pretty cool. The audio and graphics are great, they give a sort of magical mood. I still have to find the references and get all the endings, but I am enjoying it so far.
