As an earlier comment said, this submission IS an experience and I am here for it!! I had so much fun playing – I love that you did something a little different for the jam, and using the process of a ‘searching game’ as an additional way of telling the story (instead of only through dialogue/image) was really clever.
The concept and backstory feel rich and intriguing, and you somehow manage to give a very vivid feeling of the setting even though it doesn’t technically appear onscreen.
As for what does appear – I was so delighted once I reached the second level and realised the (literal) breadth of the inner-world you’d created! The colours and images are so dreamy and there are little details to appreciate everywhere. Receiving the small ‘microfictions’ as rewards was very satisfying, and I liked that they were stored on their own screen so you could revisit if you wished.
I didn’t finish the game in all one session, but I liked that I split the experience because it kept it at the back of my mind in between playing. Having the different sessions be part of of structure also made that work so well, because the player can then experience the feeling of ‘returning for a session’ just as the character does.
I rate this ten out of ten meteor-shard telephones!
