update  ( (itch.io has the jam entry files locked until the voting is over, but i saw nothing wrong with posting an update like this until then)) ((if that is not the case, someone please let me know))

  • added a basic settings widget with a slider for adjusting foliage density (for fun, try turning it all the down :P) 
  • optimized meshes
  • made the chaser vine a bit smaller

My GTX 970 can't handle that game, it's constantly less than 10fps unless I look directly into the sky.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm adding some settings plus making some adjustments to the foliage spawning to make it a better experience on a wider variety of cards.  Keep an eye out for updates this weekend :)

in case you are interested in testing a new build, I've just uploaded a new one here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=11OjngmaDQYP3cJvemhglQG7buA7IfTEX 

thanks again for trying it out to begin with too!

It's a nice relaxing game :) Menu effect looks really cool, music is good and some views are amazing. That being said there are few issues, mainly that textures are blurry, vine behind you is taking so much space you can't see what's happening(I'm glad it's not following the player all the time, otherwise I wouldn't see all those pretty locations) and the UI colours, well... white on black background would look better :P
It takes a lot of effort to make a game like this work perfectly so I wouldn't try it during a game jam myself but I get the atmosphere you were aiming for and that's already really good. Great lighting, atmosphere, even those puddles add to it. Good job :)

Thank you for giving it another try, and thank you so much for the detailed feedback and for the very kind words.  It makes me happy that at least one other person has enjoyed the experience no matter how brief.  I'm attempting to bring some additional life to the environment and I'll be factoring in your input as well.
