The effect for the game over was using a overlay layer on top of the text, which is animated for 6 frames or so. It was done within Aseprite. Sadly, we didn't have the time to add more stuff into the game, sorry about that.

Issue has been fixed. Sorry about that.

Issue has been resolved. Sorry about that.

What program did you use to make this?

Thank you for taking a look and giving it a shot. :)

While working on the game, there were a few things I think would improve the editor. One would be the ability to copy sections within the map and paste it in other sections, so this would speed up tile placement. The second thing is the naming of the rooms and endings. It would have been nice to edit the names for the sake of organization. This as well as the ability to move the tiles in the find drawing window. Other then that, the editor helps make games quite quickly. :)

Glad you like it. :)

New update!

=Version 0.2.3=

-New path added in level 2!

=Version 0.2.2=

-Added new title song. Thanks to Sbeast.

I say it sounds pretty good, nothing viably wrong with it. I had a few other friends of mine tested the song and they gave it the thumbs up as well.

Around 1-2 minutes. As for looping, I'd say no. While it will loop in the game, I'd think it'd better to have it have a point where it begins and ends. Much like a melody.

Sure thing. I'll place some links to them.

The idea is that I want to have the theme to have a calm yet unnerving feeling to it. That you're about to read some stories that are reaching into the uncanny valley

Currently it is on "Pay what you want," but ultimately it is free. I don't expect people to be paying for it in it's current state. Right now it's only on itch.io until I feel it's popular enough to warrent a jump to other platforms.

Thanks. :)

Sure, I definitely could use more music. While I am still working on specifics, I know I definitely need music for the title screen. I'm just using asset music for everything at the moment. Would you be interested?

Thanks. Finally got around to adding them.

Author notes:

Hey there. This is is Mimic.

I've been working on this game every week for the past number of months whenever I get the chance. Reason? None really. The project seems like a fun idea.

So the first level is there, basic bare bones of the way the story is told. WIth a few playthroughs, I've found a way to reduce the size from 190 to 19 megabtyes. The issue now is that while I think the level is good, I don't know how others would think of it nor do I know if there are bugs I've missed. I need a different perspective, people who can help me refine this ideea and give feedback into it.

I want this to be a good game, however I can't do it alone. Which is why I asked my friend for help on the first level's story. However, I don't know if it would be good enough or if it's something people would like. So if you guys can, could you help me with the game? What works? What doesn't? What can be improved?
