Wow! Freaked me out when the red and yellow memories showed up!

Great job!

The last level bumped up most of these ratings by 1; you should really have ramped up the difficulty at the 2nd level because that's when it gets really intense and scary and maze-y.

I'm so glad I kept going past the third level, because the next one was WAY fun. I can see how this could develop into something scary/exciting/fun. Keep at it :)

Great game. Love the art style and the implementation. Really impressed with how immersive a simple game like this can be.

Hello, thanks for the great game. You got a good scare out of me. Congrats. First, I love the atmosphere of the game. The sound effects are top notch. Love it. Second, I think I might have broken the game though, I some how ended up outside of the main wall I think. I'm not real sure. Either way, I ended up in a real fuzzy area and no boundaries. Maybe I didn't look long enough for the proper exit. Finally, this was pretty fun. A suggestion for expansion would be to add some story telling elements. This could be a really fantastic little game with a bit of story. Cheers!

Really cool, though a bit creepy! Solid game!

I felt a surprising amount of immersion despite the blocky graphics. Great job with the atmosphere and monster behaviors!

On level 3 I was able to leave the map completely, somewhere in the lower right area.

I think I left the map on level 3, but that actually made it even scarier.

Rather excellent. Played the first few levels. Definitely had a scary feel to it, and i loved the effects for making the situation feeling tense.

Looking interesting. But damn difficult game!

Really nice game! The mechanics are simple but very attractive. It's a really nice and dark interpretation of the theme. I like it a lot. The graphics are also very nice and moody. I have to admit it's a bit freaky. ^^ I was just wondering if it was normal that the HUD with the instructions wouldn't disappear. Also you get lost quite easily, but that's kind of the point a guess. Great work!

ARGRGHGHGHGH I lost my mind on level 4. Great work, but you owe me a brain.

This is brilliant!

Incredible atmosphere considering the time constraint. Perfect sounds and clever visuals. I sometimes didn't understand why I was still getting static on the screen when I escaped from all the enemies. Original take on the theme.

Nice mood !

Great game! One of the best LD entries I've ever seen, honestly. Perfect execution on the gfx, reminded me so much of old-school silent hill.

I get a lot of null references, but the game is amazing. I like the graphics and filters, audio is appropriate and I love the idea of forgetting. Amazing job sir :)

kevlanche 2015-04-23 18:37

The only game I've given a 5 in mood this LD! Great game. Very intteresting interpretation of the theme :-)

junber 2015-04-23 18:46

Really nice game. Quite scary. I especially like the pixelation style. The Console showed some NullReferenceExceptions before I closed it.

lyje 2015-04-23 19:03

Many thanks for all the comments so far, really glad people like the game :D

Wow! Great game, top notch actually. One of the best games I've played this LD. I might be a little biased since my game feels mood kinship with yours. Really nice work with the effects, both graphics and visuals. Got to level 4 and I tried it several times before giving up. It was also great to see such diversity in the enemy behavior. The thing that I kept thinking though was that I would have wanted it as a rogue-like and just add a recuperation factor that sets in after some seconds without enemy contact. Really happy to have played it and hope you continue working on it afterwards.

Wow, great atmosphere here. The abstract presentation works very well and it's quite intriguing. Jump-scares are bad for the heart though ='D

fate 2015-04-25 02:16

Fantastic game! The mood was great, and I really loved the noise/pixel effect. Great job :)

yackeroeni 2015-04-25 19:44

I really like the idea of "no weapon" being an unconventional weapon.

12pechasofsouls 2015-04-30 21:33

I love the atmosphere of this game. Very interesting use of theme. Great job.

arche-san 2015-05-01 21:06

Nice game mechanism and good experience.

oadt 2015-05-04 09:45

Best mood so far for me! Great work, unfortunately it wasn't dark in my room :D

mike-cullingham 2015-05-06 05:07

Very stylish. Nice job.

druid 2015-05-09 21:16

Wow! This game have probably best mood factor in this LD ! Well done! I really enjoyed this game!

jakob37 2015-05-10 10:12

Nice! I got very drawn in into this. It would probably have been a bit more satisfying for if it was a bit easier, but played to level four anyway and enjoyed it a lot :)
