Thanks for being willing to tackle such a serious topic.

Good visuals, emotional tone, and general atmosphere. The dialogue felt authentic too. The hope door was a little cheesy, but it ultimately got the point across.

The area with the giant phones was a little confusing because I didn't realize I was supposed to be looking for a door yet. Some more direction early on would have been nice. Also, it's really easy to get lost in the dark forest. I don't even know how I found the door there; I just kind of turned around once and it was there.

(P.S. I watched you play our game on your stream. Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it.)

Developer

Thank you so much! 

-oh yeah the hope door is a bit cheesy, we actually had to come up with something very quick as we created that door in last half an hour of the jam so yea!

- Yeah you are right, perhaps an indication that finding the door writing in the sky or even just "door" would've been cool.

-Yep about the forest you were right, the idea was that we wanted player to get lost and feel lost and confused cause that's how the character in the game felt too(it was a metaphor, there were many in the game) 


But I am glad you liked it! Thanks for playing!

Very atmospheric! Well done for such a short amount of time.

It also has the same logo/thumbnail as the game I did for last year's game jam lol

Nice game! A topic that is not typically prevalent in video games but is important to spread exposure for. I was almost expecting a jump scare after the first 2 levels but the resolution was a nice surprise. The sound design fits very well. I got a little lost on the forest level but otherwise it was a crisp, impactful story. Well done! 

I would appreciate if you could play and leave feedback on our entry as well!

I liked the experience a lot, the dream worlds were cool and you did a good job getting the message accross!

Developer

Thank you, thank you so much for your words! And I'm really glad you liked it! And we hope to create more games on such topics! And raise more awareness!

Submitted

It was definitely a lovely experience, it certainly made me feel chills with the message behind it. It´s so important to spread the word in some problematics like this, so congrats on that!

Spoiler alert: Maybe the ending could use a bit more  work, it´s like everything suddenly goes fine.

A great experience that I´m glad I could play!

Developer

Thank you wo much! And yes you are write the ending could be worked on we are acrually working on it as well, but due to time frame of 7 days we couldn't really come up with something that would feel a good curve and at the same time we wanted players to leave the game with the positive vibe and to give out a message that improvement is possible! But thanks for your feedback!

An amazing journey, had chills all the way, a really good message to spread awareness about I appreciate you guys a lot, thank you for making this game!

Such an atmospheric experience! Liked the overall Vibe of the game.

you can work on the quality of the assets a bit, and maybe help me with stage 2 in the forest, I didn't know where to go.

Developer

Hey!  Thank  you for your feedback, so basically in all the levels you are suppsoed to find the door which will take you from one phase the character's life to another phase.

I hope you can find the door!

This is a really striking entry! I appreciate your team covering a topic like this. Lovely concept and great work - your team should be proud! 

Developer

Thank you so much, means a lot1

A nice little experience. I liked the area with the huge phones. It gives the dreamesque vibe well. I found the last corridor fairly quickly so I couldn'T explore the second scene that much but the horror vibe was given successfully. I liked that it ended in a hopeful manner. Well Done!

Developer

oh yeah! so the last corridoor you are actually supposed to  go through all the doors which have words on it before the "hope" door, we didnt have enough to code that part that the hope door appears only when yu have gone through all doors but we will fix that after jam!

Submitted

Whoa, this game hits me XD, I also lvoe the concept of the game its amazing great job!

Developer

Thank you so much ❤️❤️

Impactful, Emotional, Important.

If you're having trouble figuring out what to do, just keep exploring. This game is very much about how you feel and should be taken slowly.

Thank you for making this.

Please play and support the creator. Their message is important. This needs more ratings.

Developer

Thank you, thank you so much for your words! And I'm really glad you liked it! And we hope to create more games on such topics! And raise more awareness!

The game was very interesting. A really cool approach of storytelling. I enjoyed it. But it was confuising at the beginning. I didn't know where to go to complete the game. perhaps you should add a path to the first two doors. And also it was a bit hard to read the text sometime especially in the first level. greart game overall

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! The thing is we didnt want to tell the player where the door is cause we want players to  get lost in the character's world of misery and the door acts like a "escape from reality" and from level to level it gets hard to find!


I am glad you liked our game  though! thanks for your feedback!

cool game! games like these should be made on raising awareness among youth and society.

I myself have made game for people to overcome their fears because maybe in this way we can lead to a better world ;)

loved your theme and concept, great job for your team! 

Developer

Exactly! Using the medium of games to raise awareness in youth is really good idea! and thank you so much, We are glad you liked it

Submitted

Makes you really think xD really loved all the metaphor and the emotional approach to the theme got me hooked the entirety of the time, Awesome work !

Developer(+1)
