Looking good, but I don't have Windows :/

endesga 2014-12-07 21:58

I sadly can't export it to anything else other than Windows and Android, sorry :(

HelkeGames 2014-12-07 22:17

Wow... it's so nice! I really loved the concept so innovative! ^^

plump 2014-12-07 22:23

Well, it isn't a game at all. It's decent anyways.

endesga 2014-12-07 22:26

@plump Technically, it is a game :) But I understand your misconception. Hope you liked it though!

mr_mg 2014-12-07 22:27

Looks really nice and an interesting way to take the concept.

alvarop 2014-12-08 00:09

Interesting take on the theme. The rain looks so cool.

alvarop 2014-12-08 00:21

Hey, I'm not here to police or anything, but from what I can see you used a track you created before the compo? I saw this here : https://endesga.bandcamp.com/. I don't care, but it'd be cool, if it's the case, that you mention it so you opt out of the audio category.

endesga 2014-12-08 00:26

@alvarop
I actually made the track last night, but added it to my album :) It's all legit bro :D

alvarop 2014-12-08 01:24

Hehe, we cool then, we cool.

endesga 2014-12-08 01:28

@alvarop hahaha :D

fanttum 2014-12-08 03:13

Also looks rly good, but also on a mac :(
wish I could play.

glaze_96 2014-12-08 03:24

The mood is really awesome. This, as a concept is great!

androniq 2014-12-08 03:29

Short and sweet.
It feels like an intro to something.
I like the wet footstep sound.

endesga 2014-12-08 03:54

@ElectricSeagull
Yeah, I guess it could be an intro :)
It's actually also a sequel to one of my previous games: COR

jaycee23 2014-12-08 03:54

After a bit I couldn't move, and couldn't exit the game. From what I did get, though, it's great. I could just sit and listen to the rain or the music.

bnmkt 2014-12-08 03:54

It's REALLY good :D i just loved it

daftcube 2014-12-08 03:55

That was something else. Captivating. The unique art style and music made this awesome.

groydis 2014-12-08 03:55

Left me wanting more, Frustratingly so.

greenyuk 2014-12-08 03:56

Looks and feels great. The rain is awesome. Was a bit slow for my taste though. Walked back and forth a few too many times. :)

minibobbo 2014-12-08 03:57

I loved the sound and music, as well as the mood you achieved. I kept expecting the gaunt man to jump out at me or something. Is there a reason you chose to have a black background around the character?

imer 2014-12-08 03:57

Really enjoyed this.
Nice and relaxing after all the stressing out :)

endesga 2014-12-08 03:57

@Groydis
I'll definitely be building on to this! I just ran out of ideas :P

mtinkerhess 2014-12-08 03:57

Very polished! Great music, great visuals. Not super interactive, but not everything has to be!

oranebeast 2014-12-08 03:58

An interesting game, that uses the theme well and backs it up with great music and art mood.

devshawn 2014-12-08 03:59

This was pretty good.

mrsun 2014-12-08 03:59

The graphics are beautiful. The story's pretty cheesy, but I think that's forgivable given the short time. Reminds me of Passage.

von-hunt 2014-12-08 04:00

Simple, but with a very clean execution. It definitely leaves you wanting to know more about the characters of this little world. And you can't fault the music, it was beautiful (I did also check out the album and that too is fantastic)

dpulrich 2014-12-08 04:01

The visuals, audio and overall mood is amazing. I just wish that you made it a bit longer, but it's okay since there was a 48h time limit. You should consider expanding this game, and turning it into a full story. This idea has a lot if potential!

fnkee 2014-12-08 04:03

Amazing soundscape, combined with a really cool noir art style. The story was really sweet, and I loved the part with the gaunt man. Didn't expect that!

A really great game for 48 hours, and you managed to fulfill the theme as well. If you ever build more on it, I'd love to see more.

Oh, and I really liked that walk cycle.

seraphina 2014-12-08 04:12

I like what you've got started here, but it is definitely very short. Nice piece overall though.

komjaur 2014-12-08 04:16

32bit dont work :S

endesga 2014-12-08 04:17

@komjaur
I'm afraid I can't do much about that, sorry :/

rallebauz 2014-12-08 04:34

The music and lighting is perfect

paperscraps 2014-12-08 04:43

The mood this game puts you in is great. Mood is hard to achieve and you did a great job. Stayed true to the theme as well.

somfunambulist 2014-12-08 04:43

I am in love with the ultra-smooth visuals and sound effects. There's ton of potential in a game like this being fleshed out.

tkf15h 2014-12-08 04:48

I love how polished it is. The bit with the quiet dude felt random, maybe I didn't get it. :P

endesga 2014-12-08 04:54

@TKH15H It was a little random, but things will become clear in the 3rd Part of the Trilogy!

hazzahazzam 2014-12-08 05:16

Lots of previous games on one screen put into one. Coding a pong API in 48hrs is pretty great! Good job!

catwheel 2014-12-08 05:18

that was pretty cool

hazzahazzam 2014-12-08 05:23

Super polished, fits the theme perfectly and walk cycle is flawless! What you can do in 48hrs is amazing!

mahalis 2014-12-08 05:50

Very cool. Loved the rain particle effects and the music. Clever use of the light to bring things in and out of the scene... I'll admit I didn't know what was going on at the end, but the whole thing felt kind of pleasantly contemplative.

mactinite 2014-12-08 06:10

Set's the mood really well, not much in the way of interactivity but the music/sound and art style are all really well executed.

flouiz 2014-12-08 07:54

Nice mood, graphics & sound. Your story sound well ;)

wayward 2014-12-08 08:21

Very nice! Good looking,nice music, story with potential(but sadly short).
Hope you will work on it!

maxyan 2014-12-08 08:21

Beautiful artwork!

benmcnelly 2014-12-08 08:23

Awwww, I cant get it to run correctly. 4K monitor here and its just a black screen. Is there any way to run it in a window?

binarybot 2014-12-08 08:23

Very moody.

endesga 2014-12-08 08:42

@benmcnelly Wow, I never considered compatibility for a 4K monitor! No sorry, haha I don't think it'll work :/

apiotrw 2014-12-08 10:01

Great atmosphere :)

mbeierl 2014-12-08 10:03

interesting, and as a lot of people already said: a nice concept that could definitely go further.

pirate-rob 2014-12-08 16:50

Aw..... :')

mrspeaker 2014-12-08 18:19

Damn it - this looks amazing, wish there was a web version!

johnbrynte 2014-12-08 18:58

Beautiful and atmospheric. It would be an interesting concept to try and raise this seemingly depressed character into happiness as a goal in a future version.

pjchardt 2014-12-09 00:20

Delightful experience! I love the atmosphere you created. I did encounter a bug where the event with the character that shows up on the left never triggered and I was stuck in place with the audio cue playing repeatedly. I had to force quit and restart :( Other than that, I really enjoyed the experience.

jupitron 2014-12-09 00:35

Incredible piece of art, sometimes i wonder what will happen if a psychoanalyst gets to review our games...

flashlight 2014-12-09 00:43

Short but pretty powerful. Love it~

barry-p-evans 2014-12-09 03:45

Best word i can use to describe it is "Clean". Very pretty and the sound design was great!

kunonooni 2014-12-09 04:08

Well done. Really enjoyed playing this. Loved the noir art style. Good Job!

rabbit 2014-12-09 07:51

This was a very relaxing game. The sound, and overall tone of everything was top notch. Hope to see you expand upon this in the future.

mtanton 2014-12-09 23:57

Really liked the mood between the art style and the audio. It's a nice, chill entry. Nice job!

rono 2014-12-09 23:58

So it's a game of walking back and forth... Interesting. Love the soundtrack btw, keep up that good work :)

endesga 2014-12-10 00:04

@Grindstorm haha I guess you could think of it like that :D

Thanks!

ams 2014-12-10 00:16

Great sound! Although the game itself feels a little bit empty, but it's a cool experiment overall.

asixjin 2014-12-10 01:11

A refreshing entry and the music is captivating, but as a game I was bored.

monos 2014-12-10 10:01

I really enjoyed this little beautiful game.
It successfully build a very interesting mood in me.
Also very good graphic and sound [right now i'm listening to the soundtrack].
I'd like to know where you find inspiration for this game.

rubna 2014-12-10 18:44

liked the atmosphere, but the events in the game don't really connect. I liked them individually though; and the clearing up of the skies at the end was cool :D
nice!

themeorch 2014-12-11 07:24

This was a really nicely executed little vignette. I'm looking forward to where this might lead in the future! Thanks for sharing it.

thopis 2014-12-11 10:38

Great little experience!

arkrothe 2014-12-11 21:09

It was a beautiful experience!

solifuge 2014-12-12 07:30

Well, if there's one thing you can say about me, it's that I certainly love rain... ! I played this with a storm outside. The audio sampling for the rain and footstep SFX is really nice, and the graphics are really clean. The story was kind of spotty, though. When the character said the rain made him fall in love, I thought the gaunt guy was going to be the target... I guess I ended up feeling a bit like no meaningful choices were available, and that events were totally random--even sometimes thematically inappropriate.

Still, as an aesthetic vignette, this is very pleasant. You did a great job of the design! Thank you.

boaheck_artgent 2014-12-12 20:24

Wow I really love this game. It appeals to me more so than ever right now because of it's personal nature and the themes it deals with. The smooth walk animation was really lovely too.

I don't know about sending the player to your album afterwards. It feels kind of pushy. I did listen to and enjoy your music. But slightly guiltily.

indieindio 2014-12-12 23:02

wow nice game

indieindio 2014-12-12 23:03

android link?

runvs 2014-12-13 22:40

Wow, that was awesome! I really like the way you are telling the story. Also the dark and opressing mood is great!
Nothing to say about sound, it just fits perfectly. Please keep up the great work (+1 buyer for your album :) )

asobitech 2014-12-16 10:05

Great use of atmosphere.
