Game had a fantastic look and feel. Would have been far better with a little more ambient noise tough. One of my main complaints, like others have pointed out, it kind of leaves you out to dry. Personally, It didnt take me very long to figure out how the bones and tombstone portals worked, but I can understand why others were confused.
Also, a subtle headbob can do wonders.
I rate it 8.5/10

Liked the atmosphere! The game itself leaves you to your own devices, which is good, but maybe a just little explanation would have been nice. The movement wasn't bad, but I found that the mouse look moves too abruptly. I agree with SplitHare in that I didn't know what the water was at first, it seemed more like smoke or fog, but I figured it out after my first run lol.
Overall though, it was interesting and fun to play! Good job!

In The Wisp of TimeI really like the creepy atmosphere, but it needs some sounds to help bring it alive. I love the fact that you do not hold the player's hand and leave it up to them to figure out what to do.
A couple big issues I had with it, though. The water is not very apparent at first and can even be kinda hard to see later on. Also, I think the locations of the piece relative to some of the items that are supposed to help you solve the puzzle can make it kinda hard to tell what's supposed to be paired with what. I was personally unable to complete the puzzle, because there were a couple pieces that I just couldn't figure out what they should be paired with.
Overall pretty cool, though!

Ghost TownBeautiful game. Some sound effects would have helped with the overall feel of the game though.
As xuti said the theme and objective is unclear and also got me confused. Apparently you have some skeleton pieces and some objects that I guess that you need to bring to the top of the hill. For some reason the items of the hill couldn't be picked up, only skeleton parts. What am I doing wrong? What's up with the water?
But very nice entry overall!

Cyber TrialThanks! And anything that doesn't show the green outline when aimed isn't meant to be picked up. So yeah, only the skeleton parts and other item, the rest of the things that look somewhat special are there to give hints to about the puzzle . And the water is evil or something (I'm working on an update to explain and show a bit more)
