The entire game felt like a fever dream in the best way possible. I love the art and your use of the camera.

Played through all three character endings and the (one?) Accept my fate ending.


the lore, man, the lore.  I wanted to know more about the world, the story, the other characters...but I was left very suitably hungry, I think.  

there could not have been a better title.  

also rarely have do I have to pull out a dictionary, so points for that.  Kudos to the writer for letting me rest in their words and trust where they drove me.

The artwork is simple yet amazing and unique. I love the slow-flowing cameras as well. It reminds me of the philosophical aspects of kismet in that whatever you do, the outcome is the same.

PROS:

Those shades of blue are beyond explanation.  What superb visuals!  It had an art project feel to it and a lore which made me curious as to how, where, and when am I?  Nice custom assets and artwork!  The camera panning in two of the stage was buttery smooth.

CONS:

It was a bit of a head scratcher but I could not find a favorable outcome given the three choices.  One stage (Dirt, I think) does not flow smoothly with the camera.

Really nice art and scene direction.  Curious what more there may be to the story; feels like a small slice of a bigger world.
