Hi, I'm just commenting to say that the link requires permission. I didn't vote since I didn't get to play. Screen shot looks really great.

Wow, beautiful painted artwork. The game itself is buggy and short but I imagine you spend a lot with the atmosphere and art.

This was a very beautiful game. However, it ended very abruptly. I was really hoping for more. Good work!

The art is amazing and the mood is really captured well. However after once of the cutscenes I'm not sure if that's the end of the game or if it's a crash since the game just shuts down. Either way very nice.

Well first off I'd like to say how amazed I was that this little 160MB ballooned out into over a GB. It didn't run so well for me at first, but I usually find Unreal Engine stuff to be a bit stuttery at times, the actual gameplay was smooth enough for the most part.

The crowning feature of this is definitely the mood and the graphics, this has a really nice aesthetic to it and I love the monster design, that red face is a really cool idea. The art and the sound all worked well together and created a solid mood.

The gameplay wasn't quite so interesting but it worked well enough to get the point across. It seemed like you were a little bit rushed since I noticed a few bugs and very plain looking wall, but that's a game jam for you. It was also a bit short, the fact that it closes itself at the end had me playing it twice just to be sure it wasn't a dramatically timed crash.

Overall I had a good time though and if you were to expand on something like this with a little more polish I would definitely check it out.

Wow short but sweet. The perfect jam voting experience. The art, animation and overall mood of this piece was wonderful.

I really enjoyed the ending and the animation that was for that.

The graphics were painty, which is beautiful, and not what you would expect from an Unreal game. The sound effects are amazing, but when you turn into a monster or something the game seems to crash even though it's the end of the game. Or is it not the end, and it's just crashing? Idk, but great game! Very challenging!

Absolutely beautiful game with very fitting music. Entirely too short, though. :(

Graphics and audio are very good, however the gameplay just isn't there for me. I stood on the left of the corner and spammed attacks and couldn't be touched. However, this fits to the theme pretty OK but only story-line wise, not that that's a bad thing though! It has a very strong mood, and for cinematics alone this is good, but unfortunately this is not too much fun.

Amazing visuals! Nice animations. Only when dying it seems kinda buggy (character is still walking).
You kept it tight and short. Keep rating and score high!

Ps.: Can you elaborate why you did not play my game until the end? Please be harsh :)
Because I also have the feeling that it is fundamentally flawed, but before I am biasing you I am kindly asking for you opinion. ;-)

Love the art style and mood, but there's almost no gameplay. It crashed near where I think was the end as well.

The gameplay, while lacking, was good enough for a short experience like this. The atmosphere and the aesthetic are the real driving force after all. Full marks for mood, good job!

The "cinematic" animations are VERY nice, walk-cycle and arms a bit under.

Great graphic, sound, and file compression.
But story is too short, it has potential.

Wow.... Love the ending. Sound/Art makes me feel cold and afraid. There's a deep story in here.

You are the monster! You made me suffer lack of disk space to unpack your game:D
Didn't use UE, but consider compressing .pak file itself and/or lowering texture resolution.
Still I love the graphics style, well done! :-)

Good art. But to experience the full effect you need to improve controls and the end of the game.
And I found a bug near the end of the game. http://i.imgur.com/NnR3isa.png

This game looks great. I found it to be incredibly difficult, but, luckily, there's no limit to the number of times you can die (I even died twice from the same attack!)

It is obvious a lot of work and heart went into the graphics, and it was definitely awesome.
tmpxyz
28. Aug 2015 · 04:50 UTC
The graphics style is great, it's really surprising it takes 1GB disk after decompressing.
It just crashed out when the first time player is nearly becoming monster. Maybe my laptop is too old?

Incredible graphics. The style here is far better than any other jam game I have seen so far. Audio, too. The mood of this game deserves far more than the five star rating I can give it. There did seem to be quite a few graphical glitches, specifically during death. Like everyone else says, the gameplay was lacking. But this is understandable, as I cannot even begin to imagine the amount of work required to create such a unique style. Excellent entry, this is one for the books.

28. Aug 2015 · 20:21 UTC
Absolutely loved the art - you used it in your own way to tell a sombre, wordless story. The monster's sound effects could have used some work, but the main character's laboured breathing at the end made it feel far more tense. The game segments themselves were basic and felt a little rushed. Overall it's short, sweet and it has a nice punch. Well done!

Beautiful graphics! It looks great, but lacks enough gameplay. Also, I'm not sure if I had to kill the red guy, I just walked right below him. There are few bugs and the game is short, but it's worth it.

Very short, not sure if I was a fan of the cinematic-ness of the game. I didn't quite feel like I was participating in the story, as I was just watching it. Has potential, but currently feels like it underutilizing the interactive part of games.

Wow this is absolutely beautiful! A little short but there must have been a lot of work put into the art and the mechanics. It seems very polished (though I'm not sure which version I downloaded, probably the updated one). The sound design and the animation are great too.

Lovely art and interesting take on the theme.
I didn't enjoy it when trying to take cover from the beast spitting things things, there were no places to hide/take cover and I just ended up trying to jump through it all until luck granted me passage.

It was incredibly abrupt too, I was just getting into it when it seemed like it ended.

Looking forward to see the next entry you guys create!

Very interesting execution. The graphics are very nice and small details like how the player holds the gun. I didn't quite feel the story, maybe because it was so short.

the artstyle is really enlightening me~
i think the camera-effect can a little more
it has some blur efeect can made the visual feeling more smooth and concordant/harmonious ~

Undoubtedly the biggest game I've played so far in terms of filesize. Graphics are fantastic, in a style I'd love to see more of. You've definitely got mood and style down.

Gameplay was a bit one note, though, and the theme seemed to be tied in with story rather than gameplay, which was a bit disappointing.

I really liked the art in this game. The fight was a bit hard though, and after having attempted several times and got three-four hits in one go without any indication of how or if that progressed the game, I called it quits. However, it is a stunning entry and just needs to work some one how it communicates with the player. I also didn't find any way to exit the game (played the original version). You might have fixed some of these issues in your updated version.
