The web build won't load for me, but the downloadable build is working just fine. Love the illustrations of the cards and the atmosphere of the game. Since the world is black and white, it's a bit hard to see, and the control is a bit sluggish. Maybe a motion sickness warning will be helpful. Nice work, though!

Hi, Lament team! I played and voted for your game on stream and I'm posting here for your own feedback and promotion. Would be happy if could rate and comment your thoughts on my game submitted to this jam! Enjoy and thanks for your consideration. - Kyle

Hey, could not start it

We’ve re-uploaded a downloadable version. If it’s convenient for you, would you mind checking whether it downloads and runs properly?

We truly appreciate your support and understanding. Thank you!

Hey, this looks absolutely fantastic! The art and concept are great — it definitely has a lot of potential. Also, the music is amazing! I’m really impressed with how much you accomplished for this jam.

As for feedback, a downloadable version would be great since the browser one was a bit glitchy for me. The movement works well overall, but it does feel a little sluggish at times.

Really solid work — nicely done! 👏

We’re considering switching to a downloadable version. Your feedback means a lot to us — thank you so much for your support and encouragement!
