That was fun. Going through all the text between failed attempts could've been a bit faster, but it triggered my drive to succeed and feel competent, so I was willing to wait. Felt like a concentrated interactive experience, not diluted by random stuff added. Well done on your jam game.

Had a great time with this game! Writing was direct and clear, and there were some fun puzzles to solve :) Art design was cool and consistent. 

I would love more of a narrative set up for the game, but honestly, I had a good time :)

the vibes were great! The sound design was a bit taxing on the ears, but definitely fit. great job overall though. well done

Very cool game and I liked the concept, but having to sit through the dialogue very time I messed up in the exploration part was a bit tedious

A neat minimalistic concept, the addition of some post effects like the chromatic aberration/interference is a nice touch. Well done!

I loved the art and playing the game. I couldn't quite figure out what the symbols meant though so I ended up just solving it via trial and error. I don't quite see what's eldritch about this, but I enjoyed the game nonetheless.
