Loved the art, I'm super impressed what you were able to do with a limited colour palette - it absolutely adds to the atmosphere and looks beautiful to boot. I'll definitely check back in on this one if it receives some updates.

Honestly the art and the presentation were fantastic; I would gladly play more of this if only to see the rest of the world. Also for what it's worth, obviously this was just a side effect of being a jam game but I really enjoyed the concept of not being able to explore certain areas because they weren't scary enough (yet) haha

Our Kingdoms LightI never thought orange could look so good and scary at the same time. The graphics are definitely amazing! The story is just as good, and I'm glad to hear that you're going to keep developing the game. I'll definitely keep an eye out for it in the future!

Ex Luce Ad TenebrasDespite time constraints limiting the available content, I love the visuals and the worldbuilding. Exploring this strange environment is quite interesting and I'm curious about the rituals and religion of the townsfolk. Great work as usual, Lemi.

TECHNOHELLThank you so much! Already adding more to the town, hopefully for this week I'll have a substantial update, I already got various paths and different endings finished. I am hoping to deliver a more complete experience since I know this version is lacking some important paths to reveal the true story behind the town.
Thank again for the kind words!
Damn this was really good. I hope you finish the story because I was hooked. The art is beautiful and very unique. I really liked the sound design as well. Amazing game!

Hagrode IIII'm a sucker for limited palettes. I can't say I've ever really played this style of game before but the story so far kept me engaged and the options given felt meaningful, I absolutely would play more of this! The font and colors really double down on the mode and vibes, and the sound design is done really well!
I'm excited to see more, praise the shade

Godscrownpraise the shade brother! HAHhaha thank you so much for those kind words, I know it can be a bit difficult trying new styles of games so I appreciate you took the time to try it! I am so happy you were pleased with the color selection and the design that makes me really excited and I can't wait to keep expanding and adding even more choices and fun to the game!
Really liked the limited color palette and overall presentation. The story is intriguing, and I'd love to see more of this world and its characters!

Shepherd's PathWhen I saw this was a visual novel I almost lost interest, but I'm glad I gave it a try. What a great aesthetic! I've used Renpy before and I know you guys must have really worked hard to give it that look. The writing, from the opening "fetus" section well into the game is done in its own creepy way which really elevated this. It really is more than a game or a visual novel, you guys put an artist's flair into this one.
