Overall, I enjoyed how you used color! Some of the spriting was really impressive-- especially the transformed versions of the party members. I think you pulled off the surreal aspect of cosmic horror very well. The gameplay got a little repetitive at times, but I made it all the way through and that's saying something.
Good luck.
Really not much I can say that hasn't been said already! I totally agree with the comments below The visuals and effects were frankly a bit disturbing, which is perfect. You had me at horror fetus.
Some of the art flashed a bit too quickly for me to really take in. Felt a bit confused despite the wordless storytelling, which is still kind of on point for the theme. I did like the puzzles and the way they were linked to the characters themselves, but after doing variations on the same themes half a dozen times, I felt like it had repeated a bit too much.
Overall Berry excels once again at evoking complex emotions with his work. Great submission to the Hawktober Jam.
Yeah. The plot rushing the points too fast, The puzzles being too hard and too long may be the unsung doom for me since after a good retrospective, I could have cut a couple more parts of the puzzle, replaced it with more key points and it wouldn't have lost much. Your feedback is incredibly refreshing and welcome. Thank you for taking your time playing.
This was beautiful. The music, visuals and story all came together perfectly. When I first started playing I thought this is a nice relaxing puzzle game but as the story progressed I started feeling different emotions. It's not often a game can make me feel like that.
The very fact that I was able to bring that sort of emotional response truly brings a pep in my step. I thank you for giving me your experience.
A pretty solid game, with a unique concept! I adored the art, as I usually do by anything berry makes. I can't talk about it too much without spoilers, but despite some difficulty spikes, it is well worth your time.
Awesome work with all the custom art! Love the way the story slowly unfolds as you progress and I especially like the levels with words written on the map itself.
To hear that you find amazement with the custom work I did brings a smile to my face. I thank you for playing my game Nowis. It is a massive honor.
I truly enjoyed the game as it is able to capture your emotions! Be it sadness, happiness, and even fear with so little to no words! <3 It's amazing! The puzzles are so fun and some are challenging that gives you the good rewarding feeling once you complete them! I also love that each character has their own mechanic to solve puzzles! The child is the one who can open red and blue obstacles, while the lady spirit is able to go to the astral realm to collect stuff, and the alien guy is able to enter a fluffy dimension and solve a puzzle there! Speaking of which, I love how each time I complete a puzzle from the alien guy, bits and pieces of the lore are presented via CG images which really draws you in! <3 All the custom assets from face sets, CG images, sprites, tilesets and whatnot are all made by Berry! And I love 'em! Music are perfect in this game as well! Very intense and emotional at the same time! :D
Great job to Berry for making a great sort of sequel to Lily Renewal, which was also known for its great and fun puzzles! <3
A very eerie venture through the unknown.
The game presents its story with very few words. Most of it is presented to the player via beautifully illustrated artworks. The music choices were always spot on, from melodic laid back pieces to faster more intimidating boss battles, the music always painted the picture of the scene perfectly.
The gameplay is a well crafted combination of puzzles that showcase the main characters' bond and will to work together in a very immersive way. They also add to the mystery the story presents the player.
Overall it was a challenging yet rewarding experience.
