I liked the audio and graphics of this game, it is very pritty and ofc a very sad story. I just wished it was longer and contained some more puzzles.
Also, pressing 'W' when not around any strairs will teleport you back to the first stair. Which didn't solve my confusion when I could not figgure out how to get past the first room.
But great work overall!
Sadly i was a bit lost on what to do or where to find my hoooman. :(
I'm not sure if I reached the end (seems so to me) or I met a bug - after I found my master, the screen just became black. The music kept playing, but there was nothing else (no "the end" or anything).
It took me a while to figure out that it's the light that teleports me away. But I consider it a good thing :grin:. I like the feeling of exploration and discovery.
Loved the art and atmosphere! Precious Ghost-doggo
I liked the way you used the theme to transform the game. The sounds are cool too.
Great submission !
The graphics and sounds are impressive. The style of the game reminds me of "This War of Mine".
But I didn't understand what I was supposed to do to complete the level(
Several times a "Press E button" text appeared, but pressing "E" do nothing I think.
Also this "I need to find my human" text didn't disappear in any way. Maybe there would be some hint that let me understand what to do.
What I really liked about this is how you managed the story mostly using the environment and minimum amounts of text, the artwork is great
For the game side, this is a pretty outstanding artistic game with a cool stylized visual style that gives me a mood of sadness. The navigation could be improved accordingly to other comments. Well done and thank you for this awesome entry.
Thank you for your comment :)
