The art is AMAZING and I always love it when theres a game based on folklore that isn't general fantasy or greek. The concept is fun and cute :)

Busy right now, so it will be a second before I can start playing these games, but I'll absolutely return the favor with my own rating :D
I love this one in particular because it explores the meaning of death. Not just dying. What does death add to life, not just take away.
When the theme was revealed I hoped for games like this one to emerge.
It also ran quite smoothly on my computer for a UE game, i mean like a decent and stable fps, which is impressive considering it's the only one so far that hasn't been a slideshow. Great job!
The vibes, story and art are immaculate!
I loved the character designs and lore of this game. Might I be just a little greedy and say I wish there was more? I don't mean that as a bad thing, the world is just very immersive and I want to learn more about this midwest setting and mythology.
Theres very little in terms of an actual game, most of it is just walking and looking at things, which isn't always a bad thing. It's an interactive experience, and I quite enjoyed experiencing it. Keep up the good work :D
The idea and concept behind this is so nice! unfortunately, the game itself falls a bit flat. I wish there was more adventure to it, like maybe travelling to different shops. I especially found it harder to go further because there wasn't much reward compared to the risk so having more shops or bigger rewards out there would help a lot.
The price of things is also really high compared to how much you can sell for.
The graphics are the biggest plus for me. It's such a novel idea to be playing in a medieval tapestry, strange animals included. It does have some weird graphical clipping though. The story is also quite...cute? Im not sure if thats the way to describe it, but it's cute in the same way watership down is, so its supposed to be a compliment. Rabbits! but also they kill eachother sometimes.
The sprites are goofy, but intentionally so. The scavenging sprite made me laugh out loud when I saw it for the first time.
Overall, I think this has TONS of potential to be a unique cozy game, but isn't there yet. Keep at it! Id love to see this concept expanded upon :D
I love the concept for the puzzles-- i wish there were more and harder ones too, but I understand the time constraints limiting that.
This is probably the game i've played with the most investing story. a mechanical/streampunk engine that is dubiously alive and requires human sacrifice to live? sign me up (actually don't. I dont want to become machine food XD)
Usually when I boot up a game and see the Unreal Engine logo I prepare for my computer to go nuclear but shockingly, once I put the graphics on the lowest setting, it didn't blow up! props to the optimization. There was noticeable lag when I was in the ball spirit form, but it wasn't enough to effect my enjoyment of the game in general.
Reposting this from the itch page!
Love this game! The graphics and mechanics are genuinely fun. It reminds me of the environments in Hollow Knight.
It runs horribly on my computer though, which isn't a great computer to begin with but made it a hard game. (I'm playing the downloaded version, so its just my terrible computer </3)
Despite the horrendous lag, which I am accustomed too, like i said its a skill issue on my computers part, it's a charming game and honestly something I'd be genuinely excited to see expanded upon :D
