This is fantastic work. Love the illustrations, vibe, worldbuilding, overall package. I got ending 2/4 and will definitely come back to search out the others. Bravo.

This is fantastic, the highlights for me are the worldbuilding, writing and artwork. The world you have all imagined is exactly my cup of tea!

The art is beautiful and the story is totally intriguing. I loved the concepts of the wormbearers and the plane where everything seems to take place. I got endings 2, 3, and 4, but I'll definitely be going back to try and get the last one!

The art is so unique and sharp, I love it so much. The writing really immerses you inside such a fascinating and brutal world. It really makes you think twice about your decisions the more you discover. The limited amount of resources to keep everyone alive and healthy adds a great amount of tension. Such a cool game!

everything is amazing, the story, universe, art, sound design, random event and multiple endings. really loved the experience

This was really beautiful. I got the disillusionment ending. Gonna try and get the other endings too. The art, music and sound are all very well done.

Just a heads up though the link to Concept/Sprite Artist and Sound Designer's page does not work.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the kind reply! Could you specify which credit link you were trying to access? Was it in the itch page or the about section of the game?

Submitted(+1)

In the about section of the game. I tried clicking in the sound designer's name because I really liked the sound in the game but it didn't work. Same for the Concept/Sprite Artist. It worked fine in the itch page.

I am in AWE with what you've created. I can't believe you succeed to do it in that time constraign. THIS is the kind of story and world I want to create too, I feel so inspired right now :D !

Love the world-building and art style. The music and writing and drawings and sound all come together so well. Beautiful work... I'm hooked!

Developer

This is really great! The second Renpy game I've seen in this jam that really used the medium in an altogether original way, and the art was really quite creepifyin'! I had to save for now to move on to other things but this is only the second game I've played from the jam that I plan on continuing with. Thanks for the very unique experience!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Wow I was completely overtaken by the presentation! I see your team used renpy just like me but man I love this so much I feel you got inspiration from stuff like Roadwarden, I might be wrong, but this is really creative in its own right and makes the story so immersive with the amazing artwork and well written adventure. 

Will definitely be playing this a few more times for sure!

Thank you! Roadwarden was definitely one of our references, especially for the UI art.
