I'm done!
Honestly, if I'd pushed a bit harder, I probably could've even made it into Compo. The game turned out even better than I originally planned. And I'd genuinely love to expand its universe, but that probably won't happen.
Highlights: for the first time in a long while, I wrote something new on the music side. There aren't many melodies (only three) and they're short, but they turned out incredibly atmospheric. I also finally figured out how to work in Blender (on an amateur level, but I'm happy with it nonetheless). Overall, it came out as a sort of mini-Myst.
Special thanks to Anthropic and Claude Code. I'm a Unity developer with a bit over eight years of experience, but without its "copilot" there's no way I would've finished in solo what you can now play.
Long story short - the stars aligned and I made something I won't be ashamed to show off.
