It was way too short, not so...engrossing. Feels like you did it in a minute in paint and GM.

Right. If you took the time to look at my timelapse, you'd see it took me way longer than a minute. Don't be ignorant.
Point and click adventure game, really could use some explanation as to a plot to give the player some engagement.
Controls work well.
Music track does get a little irritating.
Graphics are not good but functional.
Congrats on your first dare, StormForce. I understand that criticism can be quite tough, but please try to take comments with a grain of salt. Some critics might not understand that not everybody is as gifted as they are at art.
I think it was a solid entry, specially for your first. One of my biggest mistakes on my first dare was not taking the time to make sure my game always engaged players as well, and I hope to encourage you to allocate some more time at the end to make everything extra shiny. You want to show off everything you did, right? Guiding the player through all the cool stuff you did in a way so that the player doesn't know that they're being guided--is kind of what good gameplay is. Best of luck. :)
Congratulations for finishing you first LD48 game. It's a very short game and I didn't really understand what was happenning :)
I feel there was a deep message hidden somewhere here... but I couldn't find it. Maybe next time you should make something that let players feel that their choice matters -- or at least seems to matter.
As a first time LDer I can relate to the shortness of your game. I sort of understood what was going on, which is always good. For a first entry, I'd say this is very respectable!
I like this game ! I'm not sure I understood everything but I liked the atmosphere. If your game was a movie I would say I like the direction ^_^
I like it. It tells a story, succinctly.
as with most GM games, sound does not work so i can't properly rate.
