I really like the painterly textures, the non-euclidean level structure, and the whole idea that the game isn't really telling you what to do and you just have to instinctively figure it out. I do wish there was maybe a stronger narrative hook, as for me the game was just "weird trippy scenes" but I can imagine that being hard to nail down during a jam - or maybe not even a goal for you whatsoever.

The game could have greatly benefitted from a few more sounds; especially for those opening doors. The footstep sounds felt a bit out of place at first, but then I thought of the whole scene as a nightmarish world anyway; so that worked nicely for me.
I was genuinely creeped out the first time, I looked back and saw those creatures. You did a good job creating a vibe of uneasiness. The switch to a FPS shooter was great; like a dream where you suddenly regain control of your body and can defend yourself.

The ProspectorI recommend everyone to play to the end. I was immediately won over by the painterly textures but its full of fresh ideas and images that really linger- the dude peeping out of the door, the boxy papercraft gun, the Truman Show stairs. But that skittering animation of the poster-child is just Stunning. Amazing work Moczan!
Incredible vibes achieved through combination of art and smart level design. What to do is quite vague (as the overall theme :D) but actually really simple. Overall a really interesting idea with engaging execution.
Cool little adventure!

Saturday Night BarkCool art! I liked the ending! Plenty of content in just 3 rooms. One little suggestions tho, I couldn't tell that the enemy was actually taking damage, maybe consider making the effect a little more flashy? or somehow show how damaged the enemy is? Anyways cool game :D

Bot.Activate()Really amazing art! You did an amazing job at setting the atmosphere but I am missing a little feedback such as SFX for the gunshot. Overall though it's a pretty neat game

Beat the Heat bsbI adore the entire aesthetics of this game!! It feels really nice navigating through the corridor as well. I don't know what to do when the red guys show up, though x( And I tried petting but sadly I couldn't do it T-T I'm still obsessed with the art though, it makes me feel very immersed in the whole place. Awesome!!!
