Awesome. Was so well paced and crafted, even if it was a little short. Great, just wondering if there will be a full game based after this?

I feel like this is an advertisement more than a game. That said, the graphics and sound are good, and the story seems interesting, but... I wouldn't exactly call it interactive. You could have made it a video and I would have enjoyed it more. As it was, the movement was slow and seemed to drag on. And I got stuck near the mirror.

It's a good advert for your Lens game -- an interesting story you have shaping-up there! Let us know when there's more.

Reminded me of The Graveyard... And like that game: there's little interactivity so it's not really a game. But good job, nonetheless. The assets are pretty good looking and there seems to be something to the story but I couldn't quite make it?

Cool experience, great narative voice. The mood is realy heavy witch is good. On technical side, i think the foggy particle effect move too much when the camera move.

I really liked the mood. I think I didn't get the story. Nice assets. I wish it had more interaction.

The environment you created here is one of the best I've seen in this contest. A little less mouse sensitivity and maybe some wasd controls and this would have been a slightly smoother experience.

Great mood, and nice portal effect. Could do with a little more freedom though, even Dear Esther let you explore.

Minor quibble - this should be a Jam entry if you're using assets you didn't create, even if they're free. I've made that mistake myself :)

Nice graphics. This should be in the jam category due to the use of existing sounds...

An interesting audio/visual experience, not much to do per se, but certainly an interesting take on the topic all the same.

it isnt a game -- it really is just a prologue to something larger. in that respect it's caught my interest; but as a standalone it doesn't have the substance to compete with the other much-less-stunning-to-look-at entries.

Yeah, I can not really say that this is a game either but I liked Linger In Shadows from Plastic too so...

I felt like I stuck in something at the portal or what. Visually everything is in place but I think the walking noise kills it a little and music is very loud I can hardly hear the voice in my head. :) Maybe frequencies are racing in it.

It should be a Jam entry . . .BUT it was very pretty, very good mood, good music. All of this reminded me of Myst.
Makes me curious of your game. Does it have puzzles?

Hey, really cool stuff here.
