This is amazing. The main game mechanic, the narration, the feel of the game is strong. I think it would be stronger if there were more objects (it would help with finding the right picture potions, too), but I'm guessing time constraints got in the way. It was very hard to find some photo positions, so I used the walkthrough a few times. I could see this mechanic turned into a bigger, 2-4 hour version.

How does your game fit the theme?

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?

This game was incredible. I wouldn’t finish it without the walkthrough.

I got stuck right at the beginning, then I didn’t switch lights on, then it was really hard to find forest and then I didn’t realize I should jump to shed.
I think making the terrain or interior more distinctive would solve a lot of problems.
But besides all of that, the game is so clever, the puzzles are eye opening, story really good and the whole mechanic is so unique.
I think that this is my favorite game from this game jam (I’ve played so far).
Good job.
Edit:
Also good voice acting.

Ghostly GraveyardLoved the concept but I definitely needed the walkthrough. The issue at the moment is that without the visual cues of a finished level, I have absolutely no idea how to line up the pictures. However, I can definitely see the potential here so keep going!

Hide and stingI feel like I downloaded some old version of the game. I don't know how to add a picture here, but I had a weird image at the bottom of the screen the all the time.
I also unfortunately couldn't get into the house no matter how hard I tried. The doors wouldn't open, I couldn't jump through the windows, and I couldn't find any gaps in the walls either.

Safe SpaceI tried to play again. I managed to do it this time. But now I couldn't get out of the room where the box with the memories was. I interacted with it, turned on the lights, got a picture. And then I couldn't leave the room. And I couldn't look at the pictures again.
But still I liked the game, it's very atmospheric! And the idea of interacting with the photos is awesome too!
Got softlocked when entering the house and picking up the page on the "table". Or I was too dumb to get where I had to change places.Good game idea for a story game. With some nice assets the game could be an enjoyable story experience :)
