I hope you had fun jam and learned a lot :D Im pretty impressed that it runs on browser (used edge).
Definitely fitting with theme being in the jungle.
Serious props though for the runtime generation of the environment! If you ever consider switching engines, I can hook you up. :)
Had a sweet little time walking on stream xD

Only slight bug I noticed was that, on my 144hz monitor, the game would speed up significantly for short periods of time when changing focus to another window. This amount of time would vary based on how long the window was out of focus.
Bold men may claim to perceive War and Nature, wise men the elephant-man we all hold deep inside. But the thoughtful would remain silent, as thee who wants to understand Walking Simulator cannot be taught, but should play the game himself.
EDIT: great music btw
Loved the character and how misic matches with his drammatic story. Narrative part in general is really good
Some missions are a bit complicated and frustrating closer to the middle of the game, but it really worth it - ending tears a soul apart frfr
Good job!
