The Concept is really interesting, i like the puzzles, but I don't like the graphics sorry :/, maybe if you make some decoration and irregularity and more textures it will be nicer. Anyway I liked :3

@WhiteWolf93 I might try to do a post-compo version that has better decorations. More eye candy. Because eye candy tastes goo- no no it looks good.

An interesting puzzle/experience game, looked pretty for being made in just 48 hours. I was doing well on puzzles until the last one, which I admit I guessed and solved. Still though, had an interesting surreal feel.

The game gets stuck before it even starts. Not exactly sure why this happens. I'm running it on 1½ years old laptop with Chrome.

Great atmosphere and aesthetics. I was really intrigued and wanted to keep playing but I got stuck D: Maybe I missed something obvious!

Personnaly, the graphics are cool, there are install a sort of disturbing ambiance. The sounds effect are efficient as well ! Good job !

Great content made for such short time-frame. I got stuck a few rooms in because I didn't find the control-thing to try my code on. Speaking of which. They could be made simpler to interact with. First times I clicked around without them spinning. Wasn't even sure they should spin. They are really hard to spot too.

A minor thing. One of the lamps in the room with the portals that light up when passing through doesn't work. Not sure if that was on intension.

Another thing, maybe change the slope that the character can walk uphill on, because it feels a little too easy to get stuck getting out of water.

Also you failed to mention right-click and space in the controls.

Other than that. A really nice and impressive puzzle.

ohh, spooky :)

Liked the atmosphere. Took me a while to spot the code plates on the walls though. Considering the short time-span, well done!

I don't like swimming its bad. Game is good i really liked this ambient music.

Great atmosphere!

Pretty interesting, the movement was great for the most part. I found it very strange to use C for crouching instead of ctrl though

camlang 2014-04-30 12:33

Dind't find out how to finish the game. Stuck after the teleport thing. Overall the amtmosphere is great.

recursor 2014-04-30 12:34

@bitserum: Yeah. I agree about the 'C' for crouch. I just didn't get time to change it.

The game is beautiful, and a fantastic puzzler. The music is atmospheric and fits the game perfectly. My only real complaint is the floaty physics. It doesn't really feel "tight" enough.
For 48 hours though, this is fantastic, and I think it would probably sell as-is, if you wanted.
A lot of fun, and very polished.

Wow, I'm impressed. I did really like the graphics and the ambient sound effects. It had quite some atmosphere. I like how you used Greek letters, and even while the game was short, it was fun to play.

vinull 2014-05-01 23:17

Love it! The puzzles were interesting and clever, and I liked that there wasn't any hand holding to tell me what it was I was supposed to be doing (even though it took me a bit to figure out how to interact with the code cubes). If you do put more time into making this a full game I'd say expand on the story bits and the lighting some (was hard in a few places to see thing). Great job!

geckoo1337 2014-05-03 00:19

It looks very interesting. Nice atmoshere ++

syben 2014-05-05 00:30

Niece atmosphere ans audio, but man the controls and the camera were really awful (moving slowly and with no reason, not responding with Chrome)

papygaragos 2014-05-05 11:24

The controls felt a bit clumsy and navigating was a bit challenging, but the puzzles and the atmosphere got me hooked :)

Can't go into the green room 0/10 best game since sliced bread -IGN
(Really nice entry, wish there was more of it)

drprettypatty 2014-05-07 00:07

This is cool, it's really atmospheric and reminded me a bit of Amnesia with the notes lying around. It was kind of hard to figure out how to do the puzzles (I opened one of the first doors without really understanding how I did it) and the movement felt a bit slow for how big the areas were, but it sucked me in anyway! Good job :D

dylanwolf 2014-05-07 02:56

The atmosphere is neat, and the use of ambient sound and lighting effects to accomplish it is neat. I wish the objects of interest were a little more visible, because I had a hard time figuring out what I was supposed to do.

I got stuck on the room with the 3 floating spheres after I pushed the rolling sphere into the water. I'm not sure if I was on the right track or not.

matt_j 2014-05-07 20:45

Really impressive for 48 hours of work!

cirrial 2014-05-09 01:11

Man I love the atmosphere going on here. I love the soundscape and the graphical style (the tiling on the cave could do with some work like others have said, though). I love it.

penguincat 2014-05-09 03:19

This was interesting, though I got stuck at the part with the arches that light up. I think the interface could use some improvement, those combination locks were too small, and the overall art direction was a bit bland. But the overall premise was interesting.

Spotline 2014-05-09 12:11

Great puzzle game, i like the ambience and the pace ! I was blocked at the room with the three hovering orbs though, I saw the symbols underwater but couldn't figure what to do then :(

teesquared 2014-05-11 23:16

I got stuck too but I wanted to finish. Interesting story and nice touch with the hand written notes.

gamertaters 2014-05-20 00:42

Nice game. Great use of sound. It really draws you in. Some puzzle elements and written notes blend in with the walls though, so I found myself missing a few things on my first pass. Overall, really well done.
