Loved the artwork and the concept of venturing through the dark, talking to NPCs and fighting enemies - the artifact collection was very satisfying as was the light activation. I do wish the key strokes were more organic - it was a little unnatural to remember that artifacts were collected with 'R' and backpack was '4' and chatting was 'C' (I might not be getting all of those right). I wonder how you might be able to implement 'overflow' more with some real sense of urgency or adding some heaviness or hard decision-making/morally dilemma-inducing narrative puzzles, since your idea is 'emotional overflow'!

This is an absolutely lovely game! There is so much built into it and so much potential to turn this into something much larger scale. The theme, the animations, the aesthetics are all on point. I do wish that the player didn't have to physically walk all the way back to a puzzle that they might have bypassed though. The well puzzle was quite challenging to figure out the right path for! Would be nice if there were multiple ways to get up - some blocks were juuuust out of reach, which was frustrating sometimes. I wonder if there could be more game relation to the jam theme 'overflow' - I loved the fountain narrative, but the only part that related to overflow seemed to be the well puzzle. Awesome work!!

I do love the visuals and the juice of the game - the player character is adorable, the background is so on brand and the clones are hilarious! I wish there might have been a clearer course of action or sense of which direction to go on some levels - the cloning isn't completely intuitive without knowing to press the 'C' key to do so, and the portals to the next levels are sometimes tricky to find or access, or know where they are. I wonder if there could be some sort of map view that you could create as a UI element that a player could click on from the top right corner of the screen to view where they are in the level and where they need to get to (the portal). Overall though, very lovely and well put together!
