Super cool little game for the jam! I loved the bleak art and atmosphere and I think the music fit perfectly with everything. I loved getting the little bits of story leading up to reaching the girl on the bench and getting the full story. I think it's really interesting how the character you play as states they feel like they "aren't human anymore" and before they had reached the bench and talked to another person they were visually represented as a black rectangle. I don't know if you intended for that connection, but it had hit me playing through it a second time. Also loved the commentary you included! It's always super fascinating to hear a dev's thoughts and ideas going into a game! Really nice little story, great job!
Thank you! I passed your comment on the music to Ahmaykmewsic!
I didn't intend for that connection with Telo being represented by a black box, it was just a time thing. I figured I wouldn't really have time to do animation and a black box sliding around looks better than a single frame of a person sliding around, but now I kinda want to figure out how to keep that metaphor in a more polished version of the game!
Oh nice, I'm so glad I brought up the black box thing then! You never know how people will interpret things. Game jams are sort of the perfect place for using neat metaphors like that for things that are just place holders due to time constraints. I definitely think if you expanded the game you could make it a real visual element reflecting how the character personally see's themselves.
