Well done! I really loved the art style that you had with that shader. Very cool and monochromatic as well. I really like your interesting take on the theme with this story-based and deep approach. I did find in at least one occasion that while I was listening to the VO that one of the dice caught me before I even entered the main room. But great job overall!
Coool. The shader gives the style a strong presence while the geometry is really simple. The atmoshpere is thicc and the voice over is nice. Cheers!
This is a nice game, I like the pixelated arcade game style!
Creates a very cool atmosphere. Just having voices as sound and the low-res 3d really helped. Great
Love the graphics and the voice acting!
I have no idea what this brilliant piece of Philosophy and other ... stuff is.
But it feels almost psychedelic.
And the Dice remind me of the Portal Cores :)
Love the theming, love the history lesson, don't mind the gameplay
THIS GAME IS SO CHARMING!!!!! I loved the aesthetic you built, it really reminded me of Joel G's ENA series. The Illithid's dialogue upped the game to an EDUCATION EXPERIENCE Too which is just lovely. I only wish dying didn't send you all the way back to the beginning!
I really like the art, and the story is interesting!
Neat! Love the art style!
My favorite part was definitely the voice over, it really made this game a special little gem.
My one tiny complaint has already been said, but starting over at the very beginning can be a little frustrating. But overall, fantastic! <3
Gread voice over! But restarting from the first room is brutal :)
What a creative idea :) nice narrating
Reminds me a lot to baldi's basics, somehow this is the most creative game I have seen in this jam, and it will mostly stay like that. The voice acting is amazing and really gives the vibe of the game. Good job!
Just wow! I always like pixelated 3d games and its the favorite out of all!
Cool game!
Cool game and take on the idea , nice graphics too and nice entry !! loved the unique art style
Atmosphere was fantastic!
Nice submission! The narrator added a ton and the story you told was very interesting. That really sold it. I think gameplay had some problems tho. Maybe the dice should have more unique abilities and/or you should not start from the complete beginning after you die. It was a bit tedious to get back the the last dice when you miss it. I had the strategy to look down on the line and got completely caught of guard when I had to jump. :D But it wasn't so bad since i could just sprint through the other levels.
Very creative submission.
Also you can ride the last die as you are not killed on top of them :D
Really creative take on the theme. I really enjoyed the ,,narrator" and how the dice could be heard from afar. The whole one-coloured-backroom vibe actually led to me getting jumpscared by a D20 XD. I dont know if that was a bug or supposed to be but the D6 ,,killed" me while I was standing infront of the narrator, because I wanted to finish listening before I go further. Nevertheless a cool concept.
Thank you for playing it. What you described was not a bug, but I think I might have extended the distance the cube had to travel to get to the player there so as to not disrupt the monologue. Glad you enjoyed it too.
