I've so far been unable to solve the mystery, but the game is pretty well made. I love the music and the somewhat dreamlike art style.

I've so far been unable to solve the mystery, but the game is pretty well made. I love the music and the somewhat dreamlike art style.
Firstly: top marks on audio! The music was excellent, as well as all the sounds. The noises the spirits make were especially good, the fact that they were positional combined with their attenuation curve based on their distance was just perfect. I loved how they had to be quite close before you would hear them, but it would grow louder quite quickly. From what I played it felt like much of the game's experience was in its sound, which makes a nice change from games where the focus is mainly on graphics and audio is an after-thought.
Pretty cool to see the art style, it felt like it shined in particular on the spirits, the motion and particles of them really felt fluent and gave it that moving-painting effect. I'd like to see the style expanded upon, integrating movement into all the elements.
The whole concept with the hair dryer and power cord definitely fit the theme well, and added a bit of humour to the game.
I found the puzzle element of the game wildly confusing, even with the hints, and the guide, and the map, I'm still unsure what I was supposed to be doing!
Overall I still enjoyed the game, mainly from the atmosphere which the audio and visual style created.
Neat game.
Couldn't solve it, but the music and the spirits are gorgeous.
I think you've done a really good job with the music and art here, really pretty. I also really like the mechanic of having to plug the hairdryer in! Really adds to the feel of the play
This game is fantastically made. It plays, looks and sounds great. But I'm sad to say I'm unable to beat the puzzle :'(
The game was interesting. There was no real penalty for death but yet there was. I also had a moment where I was trapped switching between parts of the level.
Good work, but difficult to understand where to go.
The graphisms are nice, but the ambiance is a bit strange...
The hairdryer and the outlet are a good idea, but I couldn't understand how to make the red things "die" or being repulsed.
Great game! Loved the graphics and audio! The concept too is great, and it's really fun to play! Just the controls felt a little stiff for the lack of diagonal movement.
Still couldn't solve it... I'm gonna think for some time before trying it again xp
very nice audio and interesting visuals
i think figuring out the puzzle would be more engaging if the movement wasnt as slow
Gorgeous entry, fun gameplay, but I couldn't figure out the puzzle.
