I made a video of your game. I tried to include as much game dialogue in the video as possible.

Very interesting game. I loved how the game starts innocent at first, but when you go to the Spaceman's house, I started to feel all sorts of emotions: nervous when I was walking slowly into the Spaceman's house, scared when I saw the Spaceman, relief when I realized that the Spaceman was just a human who misses space, and sadness when I saw the vision through the helmet.

I had the same bug as below. I liked the writing and the art. The mood was very good and I enjoyed this simple premise. Nice work.

Low on horror, but good nonetheless ! I got a bug on pmy first run, after exiting the first house the dialog did not play, and my character was free to move across the screen.

Ahh sorry, yeah that happens rarely on the web export version for some reason, we didnโ€™t get much time for testing. Will try to push a fix for it soon. Appreciate you playing our game.

Nice game, the story is great for a short game like this. I enjoyed it. Sound and visuals are great.

Short and eerie, well made.

Well done, short but poignant. The font was a good choice, and the walking animation was surprisingly fluid. I ended up "taking it" at the end, and the choice was really poignant and eerie.

Good job!

I love the story and the final dialogue, the sound was great too! It crashed once when I had to decide if I took or not an object, but the second time it worked well ! Well done !

I really love the vibes you conveyed, and the story was very haunting! It was a great choice to base it off a short story. Great job!

This hit me close to home. The simplicity makes it even more enjoyable. It feels like playing a creepy pasta on an old Game Boy Colour. So a trip down memory lane + immersive story and very creepy atmosphear. (Plus some replayability factor to check all the different items). Very well done.

This was really fun! The story was rather captivating, and, despite the length, I felt very immersed! Loved the sound design too.

Really nice music and character portraits. The objects to choose from were well varied and humorous. Thematically, I enjoyed the story and the morality the kids assigned their actions, it felt very nostalgic but meaningful at the same time. The camera movement felt a little too slow and jerky for my tastes, like the rooms might have been more suited to a static camera than a moving one. Overall, very polished submission and intriguing premise. Good job :)

Really fun, I mean I definitely did not take a gold ring...  I did find one issue When I choose keep looking from the Argos Catalogue the game freezes.

Thank you, and thanks for pointing that out! Hopefully it's something we can fix, but in the meantime I'll add a note to the game's page.

not a fan of novels, but it was cool

This was a really immersive story! I loved the cosmic horror elements once you get to the Spaceman's house. It feels very Stephen King-esque with children encountering otherworldly ideas in the mundane. Great work!

The one who did art is incredible. As a guy who tried to create atmospheric tilesets I bow to you.
