Really neat, does remind me of my experiences of playing barely populated private servers of old MMOS. There is something about a space that is meant to be gathered in being empty that's sorta sad. Makes it even more desolate when realizing it's purely digital, but yeah idk lots to think about playing this.
This is a short, lovely and contemplative game. I interpreted the main theme of this game as an attempt to capture the uncanny feeling we experience in online spaces. In many cases, digital environments can evoke the same sense of space, place and being as real spaces.
That resonates with me a bunch. As a Iong-time player of a few MMOs, there's certainly many times that entire worlds and memories that I invested my time into have become abandoned. Your game does a good job of bringing out the strange calm and sadness of saying goodbye to those spaces.
The game is a lovely re-creation of early 2000s aesthetics, with a great title font and a colourful pastel environment. The adaptation of the cover into something relaxing and meditative is excellent. I love the potential of an environment like this being used for something very laid back and chill.
As far as feedback, I got the impression this is meant to be a short experience. Am I missing any surprises? Is there more to explore? If not, that's okay. But there's definitely some potential to further delve into the ideas that you've presented in this game some day.
