Loved the main character's look and animation, the heartbeat audio was a nice touch. Really liked the shroudcast game mechanic and had fun using it. Wasn't 100% sure about what the incursions meant for me losing the game? I never really found out but I played through to one of the endings :point_right:
Appreciated all the effort for the narrative and dialogue, overall a fun and atmospheric experience, thanks for making!

Played this with my daughter (8) and she really liked it. She said -
"Its really creepy, but I like it when you are fishing out the ghosts"
There are a ton of systems in here and I can see why the game is so huge to make! Glad you finished it as we had a lot of fun with it. Great entry

Lovely atmosphere and the writing was top notch, really interesting take on the theme. The atmosphere, graphics and audio were all setting the mood perfectly too. Took me a little while to get into the swing of things and I still don't quite understood some mechanics, but honestly overall, a really lovely jam game, something I'll be coming back to for sure!
