wow, what a trip! you really were able to capture the abstract lovecraftian horror vibe really well! everything feels so uncanny, with just the right amount of unexplained weirdness to make the whole world feel unsettling! the 3D assets look really nice together, the materials of the environment sell the atmosphere of the game really well! the purple blobby background in the other dimension is so trippy and adds a layer of alienation to that whole realm, i love it! the characters look especially good, with really nice animations as well for different contexts! the sound design and voice acting feel like the cherry on top to add to the growing insanity that festers in the world of this game, really well done!
the game loop is pretty nice too! got a little lost at first trying to understand what to do, though i eventually got it and it was fun roaming around the village aberration hunting xd. i wish the notes that show up when you pause the game (press the escape key) was the one that appears in the beginning instead of the notes that were shown. although the beginning graphic shows the instructions on what to do, it missed some key information like to pay attention to the different shapes inside of the rooms and also what the controls are. also was unfortunately one of the ones who wasn't able to solve the puzzle. i checked multiple times to layout the pieces relative to where the gate was, but the puzzle wasn't solving for me (i also may just be missing something).
nonetheless, this was a really nice and eccentric world that you created! loved seeing how you portrayed the character's insanity! great work!
