This game reminds me of Limbo and Inside by Playdead. Unlike them though, this game provides more movement on the third axis, which I think could make for better storytelling and puzzles.

I find it slightly annoying that I get stopped in the way by seemingly small objects and invisible walls. I wish the interactions with the puzzle elements can be better, for example currently the "wires" that opens the door has no indicator when is it close enough to a specific "socket" to be plugged in, which is slightly irritating. I hope the controls can be explained somewhere, especially since the character can sprint with the "shift" key, but it isn't as intuitive as the others.

Also the story is too short please have more stuff thanks.

Overall cool game, some user experience upgrades and more story would greatly improve it.

Very good game! though i do have a problem with the many invisible walls and turns you can't really see. Still very good

The invisible walls is not placed perfectly everywhere and will be fixed for the improved release, I plan to make the paths more obvious so trees and other stuff is not in the way of the camera. Thanks for playing & rating our game ^^

Great game, I like the graphics,that you used noise, chromatic aberration, gives the feeling of (Limbo). Atmospheric. Good job!

Thanks for your comment :)

Limbo/Inside was the exact style we went for when creating the game, like a mixture of the two. I'm glad that it is noticable ^^

The game's atmosphere is great. The controls are fine and a gamepad support would be nice. Awesome job!

Thanks! We actually added gamepad support but it is only tested on a PS4 controller :)

Loving the perspective and vibe of the game, definitely in the vein of Inside/Little Nightmares. Though this perspective can be a little tricky at times when judging depth perspective when platforming. The atmosphere is great, and the game has a really good sense of progression not often found in game jam games. Great work!

I love the art style, there are some bugs like the ropes are pretty glitchy, and the monster stops chasing you near the end, you can hop over the barb wires, and when you hit ESC, you are taken to the title screen and you are forced to start over. After you beat the game and click start from the menu, you are brought to the last checkpoint, but overall this is a really cool game. The background noise is perfect, it gives the game a horror vibe. I also liked how the appearance of the character changes when you switch to the bad-quality setting and the puzzles kept me entertained while playing the game. Good job on the game (this is way better than something I could ever make).
