What a masterpiece, oh SugerAngel. Brought so much happiness into this world ;)
Loved it !
Welcome to the poetic universe of NeJ. A snowy forest that speaks of friendship, music, silence and mystery.
In this puzzle adventure you will meet a young puppy with whom you will live an incredible story, which begins in the ordinary to open on the fantastic.
To save yourself from the dangers of the forest, you will have to go deep into your soul, transform yourself and become stronger, at the risk of becoming a monster in the eyes of others. Through the eyes of the protagonist, the themes of loneliness, friendship and self-defense are explored.
NeJ is a serene and evocative experience without any text, brought to life through the symbiosis of expressive hand-drawn graphics and a poignant original soundtrack.
Infiltration sequences, small puzzles, combat and mini-games punctuate this emotional journey.
NeJ is the first commercial project of solo developer Ben Lega, a mechanical engineer by training. Accompanied on music by Nowe Reginald, this project is their love letter to the video game medium.
A very nice and intriguing game !
I love how the color progression and the music create this unsettling atmosphere, it works really well.
I'm also curious, how did you do that nice 2.5d effect ? :)
Cheers and congrats on the game !
Feel free to check my own entry for the jam, I'm curious to hear your thoughts :)
Wow impressive and super original work !
It's really trippy to play a video game with your eyes closed, you actually make up your own visuals :D
This is really good idea you got there, I only think that the controls could be easier to avoid head bangings, but other than that, 10/10 !
Congrats on the game :)
Wow man what a great game ! Its fantastic the atmosphere you manage to create with so little..
The moments hit hard and are really emotionally impacting, I really hope you continue the game after the jam ! The world setting is beautifull and the dialogues are super.
Ps: I couldn't find the blue guy after I gave him the flower and he let it go, any hint ? :)
Cheers and congrats on the game! Loved it

Thank you for the review Bastian! I had a blast watching you play the game :D
The color change in a simple transition shader, the same as for a circular in-out black screen when you go through a door in many games.
Then I just give this shader a texture that's made with a watercolor brush, and ta-da ! :D As simple as that
