I liked the atmosphere and sounds effects. the objects (swords, compass etc) have nice functionality. I also liked how the story is told inside the game. good job!

I liked the graphics and gameplay, nice game.

Btw the ladder at the start is bugged and if you stay in it you will slowly fall down

Developer

Yeah the ladder was part of a later puzzle, due to time constraints we didn't manage to make it work nicely and had to cut the puzzle with it.

Thanks :)

Loved the atmosphere, it looks like you guys had fun making this game! Not so sure the "What am I riddle" meant anything to the gameplay, though, did it?


The rest of the riddles were a nice touch that kept my team and I entertained and willing to see more! Nice job everyone!

Ah! And nice touch for the credits, the controls as pictures on the itch.io page, and the physics mechanics that were very sadly not used for riddle-based gameplay!

Developer

Hi, glad you liked it :)

Yeah, unfortunately, the riddle puzzle didn't make it into the game.

It sure was a fun week :)

Really enjoyed the atmosphere, and having customizable settings was a really nice touch! I got lost running in circles more times than I care to admit.

Thanks, glad you had fun.

Yeah the initial goal was for this to be a puzzle/mystery game with intentional traps for the player to fall into/ be confused (a little bit) but still progress. It turned out to be hard to balance and make it obvious when the player did something right or wrong.

Very intense atmosphere, almost make me hard to complete the game. Also the maze part you did some teleporting there, despite the fact it is too obvious, it is also one great way to scare people. Overall well done!

Imo as long as there is atmosphere, horror game players will scare themselves, you dont have to do much xD

Developer(+2)

Thanks a lot. It was actually not intended as a horror game initially, but I can see it with how the ambience and atmosphere turned out :P

And without telling too much: It seems like you only noticed some rough spots that we weren't able to fix and hide. There is a lot going on behind the scenes that you can't (or shouldn't) see :^)

Really fun and tense game and intriguing gameplay.My only criticism would be that currently that it has some bugs but otherwise really cool game!

Developer(+2)

We actually just uploaded a fixed version in which you can actually finish it. But thanks for the feedback!

I got tense while playing, the atmosphere was good. The mouse sensitivity is a bit too high. I got out of the ship but I didn't know what to do next, good job.

I love the atmosphere and environment you created it. It definitely had me wanting to know what was at the end. I got to space and it seemed like my character kept falling forever and nothing was happening. I'm not entirely sure if I was meant to go anywhere from there? But overall still a really neat experience.

Developer(+1)

Yeah the end is currently broken. We plan to fix it in the following days, it seems to be "just" a small loading error.

There was basically a credits scene after where it presumably broke for you.

Developer(+1)

If you're interested we just uploaded a fixed version that actually works as intended. :) 

In that it shouldn't be possible to softlock/fall out of the world.
