How does you game fit the theme?
It's a story of dealing with grief. Nothing felt real. This is his way of processing loss by imagining it trying to return to him.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I did the coding entirely in blueprints - Assets were modified and retextured but almost entirely from the unreal marketplace

The game's really difficult for me. However, the graphics here are really nice, and of course, the game is real fun :)

Developer

Thanks. I might have made it a bit to difficult. Originally I had 100 darkness to defeat.

I truly enjoyed this game. It had me stuck wanting to beat it so bad because I wanted to know what happened once you win. It took me a good amount of tries to finally win haha and I enjoyed every second of it haha those pesky darkness' are great. Nicely done would definitely play it again :) I also really liked the cat character that was awesome.

Love the environment and the effects! Felt good to play, although it was pretty difficult. Very nice presentation overall. Nice job!

Developer

My condolences for your loss. You have created a work of poetry in the face of grief. My only grievance is that the shadows seem to spawn right on top of me from time to time, making it hard for me to feel that I have any chance of success. Perhaps this was part of the poetry. All that aside, jolly good show!

Developer

Thanks. And yes I debated adding a protective no spawn area around the character. Your correct though, I left it in due to the nature of the unpredictable.

Beautiful graphics and atmosphere! It's a little punishing though with sudden death as soon as a darkness hits you.

Developer

Thanks. It was suppose to be a struggle. Frustrating for sure. I had problems winning.

Developer

I really loved it: so beautiful to see and so funny (and challenging)  to play. In particular I loved the choice you made to play as a cat :3

Good job!
