WOW that was so cool
My biggest fear when playing any game rooted in surrealism with a really concrete visual style is that the story will be altogether too vague (or come across as condescending in a way) however this was a very pleasant surprise, the story felt entirely understandable in a way that still came across as creative and matched how the game presented itself !! It has a very strong identity throughout that I'm a big fan of, and I just adore the character designs
(also love what you did with the camera, I love a game that occasionally changes it's viewpoint)
The absolute biggest critique I could give it is an overall lack of a horror vibe, but who really cares when the rest of the game is dripping with style anyway !

Thank you! Yeah, that’s exactly what I wanted with the story. A lot of surreal experiences while sick tend to come across as too vague, or the weird world doesn’t have much interaction. I wanted to include even more dialogue in this game, and we might still do so after an update.
Not trying to promote or anything, but in our main game, ./DreamON, I really want to create a world where there are NPCs who talk and tell stories while still being in a surreal environment. So I’m really glad you liked our story! Also, your game was one of my favorites in the jam too, so hearing you say this makes me very happy.
