The limited colour palette really made the atmosphere work. The story was great!

I enjoyed the atmosphere and found the themes of the game very relatable. It had a way of getting under my skin, so when I reached the strange and creepy ending, I was prepped up for it :). Good job!

Cool game from a solo developer!

A real point-and-click for puzzle fans.

I just didn't like the objects on the location that were getting out of pixel art visualization. And there is clearly not enough background music.

And pretty short. I want to continue this game.

Thank you for playing! I aporeciate your feedback. Fair point about the pixel art there.

Not including music for much of the game was an intentional choice. I wanted to subvert expectations for a pixel point-and-click game by including atmospheric background noise instead. I'm sure that isn't for everyone though, and I'll make note of your thoughts!

Love the ending! This turned out great, congrats!

Thanks so much! Using powerquest was a real challenge and joy at the same time - thanks for making it!

Huh I don't like horror stories, sorry... But the art is cool and overall it looks interesting with solide puzzles and story. I'm pretty sure it's a great game for the fans of the genre!

Very cool game!  Loved the Art design and the way the story unfolds.  Shows how much story can be told with just a couple of characters, three rooms and some good writing.

Reunions, ugh, perfect theme for a horror story, this was scary from the very beginning!

Also, must admit it was a bit more relatable than I'd like it to be, sigh.

Very cool little game, great moody color palette and easy puzzles.

I was really enjoying your game!
How paradox this very deep ending was, with the info from the ReadMe.txt
I hope you are well now!

I really liked the palette! It's a very effective use of limited colors. And the spooky ending works really well and makes you see the whole game differently.

Developer
