nice work, you achieved a lot with a minimalist look. I found the controls fiddly though, would have prefered to jump with up arrow or w key, found myself placing the mouse then platforming with two hands.

Hey very nice! Took me some time to get the hang of movement, though. I would maybe consider some friction. Really nice atmosphere. Maybe I didn't catch it soon enough, but I made use of the mouse only after the first time I got to the stage with more than one enemy. Nice story, too :)

AnglerThank you for playing! I had some friction at first but decided against it because I felt that some of the tight jumps were too easy, looking back I should’ve probably just reduced it instead of removing it completely.
The part about the mouse was explained in the dialogue in the very beginning, maybe you accidentally skipped it? I sure tend to skip important info in these kind of games :D
That was a really cool game. It reminded me of that game that came out a few years ago Thomas Was Alone. The mechanics were really nicely executed, simple to understand and effective. The lighting is really nice to look at as well. Well written too! Just overall a really well done game, I really enjoyed it even though I got stuck.
