Very nice work! Great visuals, narrative, and overall atmosphere! 

My only minor criticism is the CRT effect felt a bit too strong, especially the bright line that went down the screen.

Developer

Thank you for rating the game!

You mean, CRT was kind of irritating for eyes?

Submitted(+1)

I wouldn't say irritating, just the intensity of the effect was a little distracting at times. Not a big deal though!

Looks pro!

What an impressive comment! Thank you. 

We envisioned a more intricate story than simply "saving your sister from aliens." Our goal was for players to uncover the mystery of what happened to the colony and understand Max's connection to it through a series of clues. However, given the uncertainty that players would notice all the details and how the protagonist's perspective might influence their interpretation, we decided to add stronger hints as a compromise. 

Anyway, I'm glad you liked it!

Really wonderful experience. Adored everything about it, I can't believe it was your first game jam. You should be incredibly proud of what you have made here.

Developer(+2)

Thank you. Those words mean a lot to us.

A gorgeous and morbid narrative. It was a creative concept that even give me a couple shivers during the big reveal. I wish Max and Milla's personalities were explored more - who they were before they became.. you know, just play the game, it doesn't take too long. Could use some QoL improvements, e.g. backing out of a dialogue you accidentally double-clicked. Great work!

Developer

Towards the end, we had to cut back on the volume (including text volume!), but I wanted to tell you more. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Wow this is a very polished game for something made in such a short time. The visuals are stunning and the music and atmosphere are just great. One of my favorite games in this jam for sure

Developer

We took maybe the whole first week to search and revise the concept to form a cohesive experience. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This was a lot more emotional than I ever thought it would be, the animation, the art, the story telling the sound and music it all hit the right notes, great stuff. Great job, you guys pushed this game to the limits within the time frame I am so happy I got to play it! 

Developer

That's very generous, thank you! 

The game was originally envisioned as something far less personal, and we chopped off the hydra's head a few times until something grew that was able to hook us emotionally. I'm glad you were able to feel that.

Wow! This was amazing. The ideas and writing were great. Loved the ending concept.  One issue was sometimes advancing the typewriter effect would skip to the next text. Visuals were superb, amazing for a jam game. The atmosphere from the music and visuals was exceptional. Wish there was a little bit of a gameplay change up but I understand with how much work went into this.  Excellent job.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, we didn't have time (though who has time during a jam?) to expand the gameplay. And even with such simple gameplay, we had to cut down on the size of the locations and the length of the game. 

It's great that you enjoyed it!

Hey, I forgot to mention the controls.

A and D to move left and right, and W for interacting. That's all - have fun!
