I felt like the gameplay was suited to the feel of the game. Slow and requiring intent with the grid motion. I enjoyed the fact that the game remembers all ones actions but I think was lacking by 1. some actions seem to have few consequences and 2. only being able to play it once. It would not be a choice that I would make although I think I understand why you made it. As a game, I did not appreciate this as much as I did as an experience.

Love the exploration and the storytelling, it would be nice to have some interactive NPC's on stage :)

I think it's a sign of truly impressive writing and design that you were able to make me feel so many emotions in such a short period of time! I really enjoyed this, thanks for the  experience:)

Wow, what a unique, thoughtful experience. Well done. I loved the little series of interactions you could do and loved being able to experience a bit of everything if you know where to look. Praise the Pot!

Cool idea to really play into the theme! Also nice writing!

very tempted to install it locally so I can have another playthrough. Super disappointing that the last 2 things I interacted with hinted at deeper storylines, but I'd already wasted my life by that point.

This is so good! What a clever use of cookies! Really poignant, sweet experience.

The biggest strenght of the game is definitly the story/secrects for a lack of better word. Stuff like finding a grave in the forest and learning about it was way more engaging than you would think because of the limited resources. Great and super creative entry!

+ found 4 secrets if thats usefull feedback!

Thanks! I had a lot of fun designing the secrets and I'm glad you managed to figure some of them out
