I should known better not to eat glowing mushrooms in the forest yet here we are again. I like these PS1/N64 style horror games, but I think the style of the characters felt a bit out of place. The atmosphere is very tense and the tasks were really fun to do. The instructions on the road were also a nice addition. Great work!

There's not much of a guidance, can get lost, and the pixel rain makes the game run glitchy (despite looking quite glitched itself, which I really liked). Design is creepy, but cool. Loved the tutorial/controls on the road, wished for more cool weirdness in WC. Anyway, one hell of a trip.

HorseMareI wish I had a better computer to run through the entire game at a decent speed. The art looks really awesome, and the loneliness is transmitted. I would suggest polishing the rain loop so that it sounds constant and doesn't break every time the file repeats.
Apart from that, the game looks really interesting. If you manage to prepare an optimized version (for slower computers) I will be ready to try it again.
From what I saw, this looks great. Congratulations!

Dark Light (Game Jam)I like this! The atmosphere is very good, very creepy. For some reason the mac version doesn't open for me, so I played it on a VM where it didn't run super great and wasn't able to get to the end. The look is great though, the rain and thunder sounds are especially good for that creepy night road trip atmosphere
