The game would be pretty if it did not bring my poor integrated chip to its knees (AMD Ryzen 7 4700U).

I'm sorry if this was inspired by a real trauma, but the story feels too generic and bland. I don't get why the 4 letter character (let's call them Four) would feel particularly like it's their fault, they didn't do anything wrong to Six it just happened on their birthday. I would empathize a lot more with Rob's trauma because he's bent one of Six's cards, which we can assume he feels bad about because that means Six will remain forever mad at him. But there's nothing hinting at *his* trauma.

Also, I figured out what happened to Six about 7 interactions prior to the end, which made it just painful to chase those last slendermen on a laggy game with my fan screaming for me to end my GPU's suffering. I was kind of hoping for a little twist reveal on the details of what happened, and why Four would feel so traumatized about it.


Apart from that, the ambiance is well executed, the red balloon a very smart in-lore objective arrow, and the camera always cutting the slendermen's head is also a very nice detail.


8min play time

hey, thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback! Sorry about the low framerate, I think that was probably due to the rain using a compute shader if I am understanding how bevy_hanabi works.

I am quite proud of the ambiance, but I do admit the story needs a lot of work, haha. I think the title "Regretful" actually conflicts with the protagonist's feelings. The intention was for it to be a repressed memory, but not because they felt guilty. I really ran out of time to get it to a point I was happy with. 

With hindsight, I should have spent more time at the beginning designing and writing. Instead I focused most of my work on the scene, and the story was more of an afterthought.

Wait... "Six"? In my playthrough he had a name - "Edward". Does that mean I did something to unlock the name?

I'm pretty sure there are 2 named characters, Edward & Bob, then 2 garbled-text characters. My understanding was that the one with 4 letters was the main protagonist
