The atmosphere is very well done, reminded me of The Witness' atmosphere.
The concept and presentation is also very nicely done.
Good job on having landmarks so you can always tell where you are.
This is a very interesting game, I loved the mysterious vibe, but I seemed like to be stuck on a certain part due to what it felt like a glitch or an oversight. I did see that the game is still undercooked, so I won't rate you yet, but I'm happy to return to it once it's patched up!
Hi Sodoj,
If you got to the part that I'm thinking of, wow, I am impressed that you got that far! Yes, I checked and realized that in its initial form the game was indeed unbeatable.
Thankfully, it is now cooked enough to be played through front to back without major issues, and I hope you enjoy.
Thank you so much for playing!
I gave it another spin, but this time the lighting seems not to work, every object on the screen is completely black. You may want to take a look at that :o
Ahhh shoot... I'm assuming it's the HTML5 version? It may be due to your browser not supporting various GLES3 settings (I just tested it on Firefox and it seems to work fine). Anyways, if you hit ESC, you can change your shadow mode from one of three settings (off, orthogonal, PSSM4) which may solve your issue.
Still having the issues, on my crappy laptop at least. I'll switch to another PC later and see how that goes.
EDIT: The game works on PC, but I seem to be stuck in a cave when you get the prism. I'm not sure what to do and how to proceed.
I love the vibe of the game the environment reminded me of an old game i used to love called darwinia, thank you for the flash of nostalgia!!
Thank you! Yeah, I checked out the game you mentioned and the flat poly shader really does give off a similar vibe to it. I'll have to check it out!
I'd highly recommend you check out the new build: the game is much more fleshed out and much less jank. There's new models, lighting improvements, fixed puzzles and a completely playable front-to-back experience with a proper ending.
il give it another go! jeez just noticed submitted 6 seconds before deadline lol nice
