Enjoyed the game

I greatly enjoyed this game and wanted to play more. It's worth expanding on. My only issues were how quiet some of the sound based puzzle was.

I like the story and the game all around reminds me of Amnesia! I love all the physics interaction and the final scare did run a shiver through me.

Yep, I absolutely adore titles of Frictional Games!

They're a big reason I became a game dev, so naturally I take a lot of inspiration from them.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Very cool, liked the story could see it expanded into a full game entering people's minds. Liked being able to caress Daniels head. Did encounter two bugs, one couldn't light the fire I had the fire icon and tried clicking and nothing happened (I think a piece of tinder fell out after I put everything in) and had to restart, and two the camera looked a little jittery but I'm going to say that may not be your fault and might be something caused by my 170Hz monitor or some software on my PC. First time seeing a flax engine game, glad to see it's a good experience!

Loved the concept of ending someone else's looping nightmare! I had a bit of trouble with the wood and tinder not going into the stove properly (collision thing I think?) but I really liked the overall psx look!

Developer

Oh, no.

Don't tell me you didn't notice that the stove had a lid.

Every person so far had issues with that, because I made the glass shader too clean, lmao.

I think that’s what happened haha

Enjoyed watching your commentary a lot!


(I really should've made stove's glass dirtier, eh? xD)

I remembered playing Concrete Cries last year and though it was really nice, same deal here. I enjoy just messing around with your simple mechanics until I figure out what I can interact with. Great work, I got into the story and felt immersed. Physics feel really nice.

The door on the stove though, it really messed me up. It took me way too long to realize it was even there and got me very confused why I could throw stuff inside. I also hit Esc midway through the game to do something off screen, that hurt haha

But I still started over and had fun to the end, great work, lokking forward to what you do next!

Thanks for feedback!

I never even realized that I made glass shader almost invisible. No wonder people struggle with it xD
