Absolutely beautiful with an interesting mechanic. A bit too cryptic as to how to proceed though.
Loved the ending.

Absolutely loved the atmosphere of this game! The visuals and ambient audio are outstanding! I also love the journal that just lets the player draw! I was confused on how the symbols related to the real-world objects, and where I was supposed to learn which direction to go for each one. But I still enjoyed playing, even if I wasn't able to complete it! Overall great stuff!

Don't Catch that Mouse!Just... WOA. Seriously, WOA. This is one of the most beautiful art styles I've seen so far. The moment I opened it, the art style hit me hard—just... god damn, wow. The gameplay combined with the music is pure art. Good game, good game! 👏 I've rated your game.

This game is really beautiful! The audio is super relaxing, and the atmosphere is overall very well executed.
Gameplay wise, it's very interesting - I love the concept of a puzzle game with minimal direction given to the player, although I do think it's a pretty challenging thing to pull off seamlessly. I've booted the game up several times and tried to logic through the puzzle, but I wasn't able to complete it. I don't play straight up puzzle games too too often, so I may not be the ideal demographic for the game; however, I wonder if there would be some way of adding either a hint system or a bit more guidance to make it easier to figure out what's going on. If I kept playing, there's definitely a chance that I could beat it, but unfortunately I don't feel like I have the time at this current moment.
Despite the fact that I didn't end up beating it, I had no issue booting up the game a good couple times to give it a try, and that's because it's a very well designed game. The aesthetics are on point enough to make it feel okay to spend a while there. And I think you all did a great job with a very challenging game genre to perfect that I haven't seen any others attempt, so I think you have a product to be super proud of here.
Great work!

Tech MoversAmazing ART!
It took me a long time to figure out how to move around by clicking the red circles, and then I couldn't figure out how to move the story forward.

Corpse WalkSuper polished and very, very beautiful!!!
OK, started and kept failing. Drew a map to realize that the order of places stays the same, no matter which path you choose, so there must be a combination that gets it right. No way to figure this out with random tries, too many options and I don't understand the map. Sad.
Thank you so much for playing this game a lot!
Each symbol corresponds to a specific object in the stage.
The mountain map shows four symbols, and you should choose to 'turn right' only when you encounter an object that matches one of them.
Following this rule should lead you to the mountain's summit.
Sorry for the lack of explanation in the game!
Well, I am going to embarass myslef by saying I still haven't figured it out. I thought I figured out which symbols go with which objects, but the map with the red circles and symbols seems to work differently than I think (the map of the climb is crystal clear)...but I enjoyed spending another hour with the game, and that is super important! I'll probably keep trying, because I am stubborn, and eventually, it will reveal itself. Well, of all the games if looked at, this one kept my attention for the longest. :-)
Damn, I can't play: pressing the Start button won't load. But music and visuals in the main menu was insane

Return HomeAn excellent game with a very intriguing system. The visuals are stunning, and I enjoyed exploring a mysterious world where the seasons blend together. I didn’t fully understand all the symbols, but I was able to reach the touching ending. The final mechanic was also fantastic. Well done!
