It is very atmospheric. I like the music, the sounds and the graphics. Especially the shadows fit in very well. The "game over" game a bit sudden for me, though. I noticed that it got darker but maybe also an audio cue would be great. Also I would love to see more content when walking through the labyrinth.
All in all: Very great atmosphere and it motivates you to try again!
I like the moody atmosphere and art is nice - when it starts raining, it's almost cozy even though I am in a nightmare scenario, haha.
Love the ending, cute cat :)
Anyway, the game is great and really atmospheric!
My compass glitched out at some point and it made me backtrack.
@smiley405 there's a webGL build on this page! you can play it on linux on your browser
@diego-teran and @emilyy We did not state it enough (it's on our part) but the thunder storm makes the compass totally glitchy, that's probablyu why you had this issue! :)
I really like the art and the mix of 2D with the 3D trees and shadows, it worked really well together. I also like that you never showed the monsters, which made it more scary to me. The ending was really sweet and put a smile on my face :)
I thought the music was super nice by the way, it set the mood perfectly.
anyway, gorgeous graphics and a great ending
