A really interesting game. I'm generally kind of bad at these types of puzzles, but I got what was going on more or less. The reset being a giant snowstorm that lifted me back to the top level was completely unexpected - nice twist. Thanks for sharing :D

Cool entry. I have bought OW and I really want to play it, but haven't found any time for it yet. Really looking forward to it!
Very nice job, I liked reading and decipher all the text. ;D
Sadly i never played outer wilds, but its in the list, i must know nothing about it! If this game “copies” outer wilds, outer wilds must be really amazing, well done :D
I’ve never played Outer Wilds but I’ve heard amazing things about it. I liked your game’s mechanic of having a limited amount of time to discover things about the world, so maybe it’d be right up my alley. Good work!
Congrats on making this alone in 4 days ! Good choice of music, I wonder what you could do if you had an entire team.
all of that in just 4 days?? amazing!
i love Outer Wilds, really well done!
this goes into my best of GTMK GameJam collection
It looks really good for a game that was made in such a short time! Definitely a lot of respect!
Really liked the decipher thing, pretty interesting. The 3D assets fit nice as well, love the atmosphere. I just didnt like that the snow would raise so fast I couldnt explore enough each day. But awesome game xD
Haha yes thank you for playing! The snow was one of the first few things I coded, and I didn't really came back to it (I didn't really got any feedback on it lol)
I should have made the night a tad shorter than the day but well I didn't lol, and I think it would be even more long to be stuck in the hole lol
Thank you again
Talk about wearing your influence on your sleeve lol. But seriously amazing job.
It's like im in some king of outer wild. The puzzle was really satisfying and I liked the world building.
Wow, I can't believe you captured some of that Outer Wilds vibe in such a small jam game! This game definitely wears its inspiration on its sleeve. I liked the ideas, and I managed to get the sun ring (cool puzzle), but I had no clue how to find the hidden temple! If I had one critique it would be: in Outer Wilds, no piece of text is wasted, nothing is just for flavour, every single passage has a clue towards some part of the grand puzzle. In this game, it felt a little bad when I would wait for the translator to finish, just to see some flavour/story text and no clues towards the hidden temple! Anyway, I did enjoy what I played of it, and thought it was a great entry :)
to be fair in this game no piece of text is wasted, and yea, the only piece of advice for the hidden temple was the one in the temple , but i felt like the map wasn't that big and i firgured player would find it pretty easily, as it was kinda obvious to me lol!
if you're on the GMTK discord and wants some clue, please feel free to dm me, got the same username.
I'm sorry it didn't feel as good as OW, i did my best. Thank you for playing tho!
THE OUTER HOLE (i fell into it)! This game is such a wonderful love letter to the Outer Wilds, from the deciphering and lore to the snow storms revealing new paths! I do wish there was a way to fast forward time so I didn't have to wait around too long
Haha yea the time flows pretty slowly when you're trapped in a certain place lol, but i figured the parts when you really need to wait are kinda overshadowed by some exploration to do, and the time was like *420 or something like that compared to real hours lol, so yeah sorry.
Thank you for playing tho, hope you still had a great time!
This one made me smile. I love Outer Wilds as well, this little tribute feels fantastic. During our brain storming phase I personally wanted to use this knowledge based approach if we ever had a more narrative idea, so I'm glad someone pulled that off. Huge achievement for a 4 day jam.
I feel you, I was lucky to have found such a solid team for this one, and we still couldn't iterate enough and had some rough moments. I'd struggle a lot more if I were to tackle this on my own. You were ambitious but worked really hard and it shows, I'm I glad I got to play your game, really enjoyed it.
