This game is the best use of single pixels I have seen in the jam, is nice to see how much you can do and transmit with so little ( I mean the minimalistic pixelart), nice interactive story!

Really interesting game. Though I didn't understand what I was supposed to do^^ I played two runs first talking to everybody then second talking to no one. The person on the bench always says FAILED and then the game closes.. Idk what to do differently :/ Also the game window was opening bigger than my screen so I couldn't see the bottom. Maybe I missed something.. The atmosphere was really good though with the simple graphics and the music. Was really creepy^^

Lucent DepthsI am posting a slightly updated version, with a hint on the bad end. I didn’t realize how cryptic it was when I made it the first time. I’m glad you liked it! I am likely going to expand this game and flesh out the world more than I had time to. You have to go back to the person asking about the bridge after examining the bridge.
Ah I see. Now I got the ending :) When you do an updated version you maybe also want to fix the window size. I guess it's based on the combined screen size or something? Because of my monitor setup it must have thought the size would fit but I couldn't see everything on a single monitor. So either the text or inventory was not visible. Maybe put a maximum height there or something :)
Interesting game. I don't know if I figured it all out. I tried playing it twice over. The first run I got the text "Fail" and the game closed. So I tried playing it again and moving past the character but hit an invisible wall. Definitely curious about the plot! Tried figuring out the blank sentences too but not sure how far i got on it. I think I got the "Anyway, you have to go under the bridge with the -------" and "hello this is John K---, I know how to get out of this -----------" Not sure if there's a clue there if there's something I'm missing. Thought the experience of the game was intriguing and the simple graphics made me feel like it is in the vein of a pixel art horror game. I liked the effects you put in like the text covering the whole screen as you struggle to remember. Think a UI change that I might have liked is the dialogue getting dismissed when you continue. I thought I had hung the game on accident when the dialogue lingered. But not a big deal.

Lam's Untitled NeonOh jeez, so the invisible wall is supposed to happen but it's also supposed to just close the game, so I guess I should have done that better. There was originally a reason I had the text linger, but I didn't get around to putting it in, so I probably should have taken it out. I also probably could have hinted to the solution upon a fail, which I think I will change and reupload after the jam. Thank you for all your feedback though I really appreciate it! :)
