I really dug this one!
I think this could totally be expanded out into a larger game, and I think it really sells the theme! (Though the "What went wrong" part of the theme could have been elaborated upon better.
I really like the way the game teaches by showing without forcing the player to read through tutorials or explanations. It felt really on-theme and the game's sound and aesthetic really worked together for the whole experience. Very strong showing!Neat idea, solid execution, art is just simple enough for you to be able to pull off a lot of fairly complex scenarios.
Reminds me a lot of Inside and Limbo with a bit of Abe's Oddysey thrown in. I want to know more about this universe and see new scenarios using these mechanics.
Great work!
