Awesome. I have no idea what was going on, but the writing was exceptional. Everything complemented the writing: the intriguing drawings, the fascinating music and the eerie setting made this a truly unique experience. Well done.

This was a quite different game. I like it :D

Great visuals and writing, it was a very immersive experience

This game encourages you to use your imagination when playing through it, with the help of some abstract graphics and audio, I like it. Although, it is pretty confusing as to how the game ends, I think I may have found the right ending? Nevertheless, this game is spot on with the audio, graphic, and the mood is amazing, it is as though you were really in that universe.

how everything works together is just mind-blowing. gj

Nice prose, great music, beautiful illustrations. AND the ability to stop the text from scanning, instead printing in one block! What more could you ask for? Great work for the Jam! =)

Illustations were very nice, nice entry and amazing experience.

Full marks on the graphics and mood in this one! I love the drawings and the writing was really good in parts. I played it a few times, never really 'getting it', but I guess I'm not supposed to and I enjoyed it anyway ;)

ok this got me... you are genius!

Very Unique Style. I like it...

Oh man, that was beautiful - the music was especially engaging and haunting. I'll definitely play through a few more times and find some other endings.

I am reminded just a touch of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, which is def. a cool thing to be reminded of.

You are an artistic genius! This was so cool! Thanks for posting it :)

Very atmospheric adventure! Reminded me clips of Tool a bit. Nice experience.

Spooky! o.o
Also, I got to be free, apparently. Yay?
(not exactly my favourite atmosphere, though; I generally prefer to have somewhat solid idea about what happened, eventually ^^")

On a side note, the first screenshot looked like a colour-swapped version of Cheshire Cat from American McGee's Alice. ^^"

I seem to have kept getting 'bad' or no endings save for one. Damn beautiful artwork though. I also love the typewriter effect!

Unique and captivating. Great work!

This is neat! I was especially drawn by that very powerful first section--the "making of a world," as it were. It reminded me of that section of Watchmen where Dr. Manhattan is... er... assembled. Later prose could, I think, stand to be a little sparser because what you have feels monotone and inflexible as the writing wears on. Of course, if we are talking pretension then there's always the possibility that this was intentional--but I felt specifically *unimpressed* rather than experiencing an immersive emotion, and I can't see how alienation from the player avatar and the story itself at that juncture would serve your purposes.

All those things being said, though, I enjoyed the time I spent with it enough to go find 3 or 4 endings, and really dug the audio and graphics. Thank you for the game!

This is actually very entertaining, well done.

Normally not my cup of tea, but I took the time and I have to say it was worth it. Good job and awesome writing!

Great writing, nice graphics and superb mood overall :D

Great writing. Very abstract story but it fit nicely with the graphics and sound.
