Congratulations on first place, man. Well deserved- I loved your game!
Very cool! I love the ambience and the mood, and the way you've integrated the puzzle element as part of a story-telling device is brilliant. I'll admit I had to use the walkthrough extensively, but I just had to see the ending and evidently I'm terrible at this sort of thing :)!
The ending caught me off guard too. I won't spoil it, but when I saw the shape I thought he had built a set of stairs to walk over the girl (thus learning his lesson to stop pursuing her). Your ending certainly goes in a different direction!
Great job, man!
thanks! There is a help button that could have helped you so you didn't have to check the walkthrough, however maybe the help wasn't enought. Glad you liked it, thanks <3
Awesome game! the art was fantastic and the lack of to much music until the end just let you bask in the puzzles, story, and art. just amazing. My only question is did you hand draw some of the art because it has that pencil-ey sketchiness to it.
hey! Glad you liked it. And, no, I only hand drawed the levels and all the inside thinking part, the restwas using a powerpoint filter (actually I'm not joking, you can check it yourselve). However to mantain all the art style at the same line using the filter I had a lot of fights with photoshop colo edit and pexel image finding (all image are royalitie free).
Please if you are stuck and you want to keep playing, you can check this walkthrough
Very interesting idea! I really loved it at the start, but it got progressively more unforgiving and felt like trial and error towards the end. Would have loved to see more interesting shapes like the arrow but also clued better - for example, it could be clued with an empty sign that points in the same direction as it.
Hey! I wanted to make better helping but it was hard with that little time as I made it all bby my own, for sure I had more levels and interesting forms, but I work+study and I didn't really had time hehe. Glad you liked it! :D
Very original, unfortunately I got stuck on the level with the platform and up arrow >< Even the hint didn't help me enough :c But it's a really cool concept and unique!
Hey! I will hotfix it. You can check the walkthrough if you want and see how to solve it. Sorry :(
Ohhh!! So that's what you were supposed to do, damn!
End it, you will not regret :u
I kinda watched the walkthrough for the ending x3 I'm so sorry. That was shocking, not gonna lie.
It looks so interesting I was really looking forward to playing this, after I saw the screen shot on the discord, but I don't have a PC :( could you possibly make a Mac version later ?
Hey, I'm looking forward to it. I'm doing a web build and then I'll do a mac build, I'll try to update them the nexts 5-6 hours! Sorry!!
You can now play on web, I have also made a mac build but not sure if it's working :O
Just did, it's such a beautifu game, the story was everything!
I got stuck at the pistol, but I wantched the walkthrough lol
amazing game overall, you should be proud!
Fantastic game! The story-behind it was great, and the ambiance/art does feel as you read a visual novel, all of that on one scene only!
Breaking the hearth with the axe was hilarious.
I spend around 10 minutes messing around with the last 5 stars that are shown in the last scene for a secret ending haha.
During my gameplay, I got REALLY stuck on the down arrow, which makes me want to quit, but persevere for the history.
I think this game is quite finished, and don't need anymore puzzles, the experience was great.
a secret ending would have been a nice idea, maybe an update when the voting ends.
Level arrow is hard, I though about writing arrow in screen with the help, I've also found lot of people stuck on lvl 3 too. Maybe I'll do a hotfix after voting.
Thanks, glad you liked it!!!
