This is absolutely gorgeous! I really love the art style, sound design, and general sort of tense, ominous building atmosphere throughout. It's kinda suffocating and relaxing at the same time :3 It's great as it is so I'm interested to see how it goes when there's even more to it!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I appreciate it. I was really keen to play your submission but my Mac wouldn't let me.  I was going to try the PC version but don't have easy access to Windows. I'll sort it out eventually and reciprocate the feedback :D

Beautiful artwork and dialogues felt natural. I was tense, even though nothing really scary happend. The concept is very interesting, I would love to play a sequel or another game about the same concept.

Developer

Thank you very much! I was going for subtle scary, so I'm glad to get tat feedback. I'm slowly working my way through all the other game jam entires. Yours looks really good too!
