Very pretty game, with a lot of atmosphere! I didn't quiet understand what the story was, however the world felt really interesting and i was intrigued to learn more about it.
It would have been good to add in some basic puzzles for a bit more gameplay, however the overall presentation/cinematic feel was well put together.

Cute creature, and a really great atmosphere. Lots of weird things happening in the background.
Not much to the gameplay though. The camera was often awkward and invisible walls making me wonder why I stopped moving.
The wall climbing was a nice touch, though jumping when on a wall is a bit broken.

Firstly, it's beautiful, I hope you drew it yourself (created textures), even if not, you were able to build a good level. Secondly, it's the sound, no matter whose originality, but you set it up really cool. Thirdly, the most important thing I liked was the work with the camera, you're super cool, it was at the level of a good AA game (not AAA yet, but already pretty cool). Yes, there are small bugs with climbing stairs, and in general the game is about atmosphere, well, you have style and that's cool, it's a pity there aren't many ratings, but I liked it, keep trying. There's still a little work to do on optimization. I'm even a little jealous, it's a really good game.

Jump scare warning!

I really liked the mood though.

Really didn't think I would finish it, but I managed it though. Nice game with a incredible mood, a camera follow that makes you really ingage with the small character 🦂. It's a bit spooky sometimes, but I enjoyed the Atmosphere so much. That it starts to rain in the end of the game is such a cool technique. Love the greek-styel too (you'll probably know it from playing my game 😉). The friend I made the game with is really into Elden Ring. I didn't play it, but I suppose there's inspiration? 🙃
Keep up your good work! Even the bugs were fun.![Screenshot 2024-10-10 215914.png](///raw/461/16/z/68808.png)

Mysterious and makes me want to explore it more. Sometimes it's confusing to figure out which way to go, but the right camera movement and level design easily breaks the scope of this jam.

The game is very cool, even if there are a few camera problems :)

Thank you all so much for playing, glad you enjoyed it! 😇
Yep hopefully I can improve the camera movement and fix some bugs after the jam haha :)

@jeiji Aaah thank you for your sweet message, this genuinely made me smile! Sadly I did not create the graphics (except lighting), but who knows for another jam! 😄

@pietmichal Haha yeah I could have put in a jumpscare warning, sorry! 😅

@sketchbookbug Glad you enjoyed it! Oh I haven't played Elden Ring but now you've got me interested!

Sound and graphics are both really well done. Not much interaction or gameplay, but pretty impressive for a jam game. Unique and interesting concept.
