It's good-looking and your idea seems interesting indeed, too bad you ran short

Very moody, and good looking, also works in WINE ^_^

I'm not sure I like a game that builds you up through an intro by getting you to walk into the green clouds to progress and then gives you a game over for doing so seemingly arbitrarily.

Premise is interesting, but I can't grasp the goal or story with this short playing time.
Also, I can't continue after reach the text 'You died a painful death...', is it intended?

I just had a wtf moment what the game was all about, atmosphere is really good but missing some game play at some point after checking out the daughter.

The green clouds are pretty much my last resort replacement for the original mechanics. Originally, you would have advanced to a new level of consciousness/reality by finding some kind of paradox through a puzzle or defeating some being(s).

The story is that you suddenly get this notion that your world is not real (the daughter getting sick) and then you begin to descend through different levels of reality until you awake in the real world and see what caused your daughter's illness and must save her by sealing her pod. I'll be the first to admit the gameplay is barely existent and doesn't really make much sense. I need to focus more on gameplay in upcoming jams as I always seem to get caught up in the looks and feels

Kudos for trying out a different style!
I admittedly had no clue what's even going on, but mood and atmosphere are really great. It's something different and I enjoy it. Keep it up!

good mood piece. left me a bit creeped out. sad you ran out of time, but don't we all?

Cool mood, great sound, enjoyed it

I really didn't get it - first I'm supposed to walk into green clouds, then it is a game over if I do. And I have to replay the long intro just to get back to that screen.

nice and atmospheric, some good sound effects... but i don't get the objective. is there something other than committing suicide in the green cloud??

tinymoonstudios 2013-12-19 14:13

I'm really unsure what this game is about, but it's certainly interesting.

Very atmospheric, and pretty good graphics & audio overall!

alanzucconi 2013-12-20 12:55

I think it gets you in the right mood! :)

What... how... where...??

Spooky atmosphere and great graphics and effects. I especially liked the snowy area.
