I actually loved the paralysis ending. Not only were the sounds and visuals creepy as hell, but the slowly dawning realization I was unable to do anything but quit the game was very effective.
I'm also curious about the trident-looking symbol on the gate and the tree, but unless I missed something I couldn't figure it out. Maybe just dream symbolism?
I'm greatly heartened by this effort. I've been wanting to make games literally my whole life but have never felt like I had the ability to do so. This project gives me hope that there are tools I can work with that might let me do my own thing.
Thanks for this, I hope you continue to make more like this.
