Finally came back to finish the game! So glad I did!

I started playing this years ago, but took a break after finding the first of four endings, so I came back to finish it 3ish years later as a Halloween special! I did check another comment for a few hints to the endings (which I'm glad I did, I was WAAY off), but otherwise I managed to go through it blind and get all of them!

I'm amazed at how long it took me to figure out what I needed to do to light the lamp, and I'm still not sure if I defeated that monster correctly? At first I managed a system to land hits, and thought I understood story-wise why it worked, but then when I started recording it wasn't as reliable, so I'm curious what the intended way to beat it is.

All in all, very fun game, and a very unique experience, I'm so glad I came back. Running in the world again was very tense and I felt like I was understanding it better this time following my first playthrough. The final run after filling the lamp is so stressful!! Haha, well done!

Also, I had to come back and finish this because I saw the next game was coming out! Can't wait to play it!! Thanks again for all your hard work on this!

Wow, what a lovely surprise to read this! I can’t believe you went back to play Their Eyes after all these years - that really made my day. :)

Yes, not only some of the mechanics are a bit clunky, but also some parts aren’t super intuitive (like the oil :D), but it’s so great to see you stuck with it and figured it all out! I’m really looking forward to checking out the video you posted.

And yes… the new game is coming! Right now I’m finishing it and doing lots of debugging. It’s way more ambitious than the first one - bigger, more complex mechanics - so it’s taking much longer than I thought. I originally hoped to finish it in six months, like Their Eyes, but… four years later, here we are! :D
We should be almost there now!

Thanks again for playing and for your super kind words! :)
