Cool color scheme and interesting interpretation of the theme. The mouse controls might have been a bit too sensitive and fast.

Nice. Quite annoying that the mouse can get out of the screen in the web version

Cool 3D and scary environment, I've tried to get to the bottom for a while now - and it doesn't seem to end? I want to get out of that prison!

While i do admit it's trippy and fun for a while, i kinda failed to see what i'm suposed to do here :(

colludium 2015-08-24 21:34

Cool 3d prison. Mouse controls were quite sensitive. Good job!

Interesting take on the theme, not much to it unfortunately.

blobo 2015-08-24 21:42

Very trippy, nice graphics, and an interesting interpretation of the theme, but it just isn't fun, nor does it have a goal.

cosinep 2015-08-24 21:57

Sweet graphics!! I would be interested in seeing this developed into a game.

mincrmatt12 2015-08-24 21:58

It looks pretty, and is meh. Thats what i have to say about it

evandaley 2015-08-24 21:58

Interesting idea. There was no shadows on the stairs so everything was one solid color. I'm not sure if this was intentional. Also the look sensitivity was a little high (hard to play with a trackpad). Good job though

Jump down the middle of the stairs and get dem portal feels.

clurect 2015-08-24 21:59

Seems like it'd be fun. I really did like falling forever :P

nomys_tempar 2015-08-25 15:20

Nice Sisyphus's like game !

riadelva 2015-08-25 16:29

I've never felt that calm while falling into an endless abyss.
Loved it!

The game is not working here...

@mubox unfortunately itch.io has issues with their storage provider right now, so I've changed the links to my own site.

I also lowered the mouselook sensitivity to some saner levels.

This is the falling down the middle of a stairwell simulator I always wanted. Great job, thanks for making it :)

tackorama 2015-08-28 15:18

I wasn't off my face on drugs or booze so I honestly cannot see the point of this.

thewalkingkiwi 2015-08-28 16:18

Wow. Really cool, I liked it. The thing is, without the music it's pretty dull. It is really weird, but in a good way. Good job!?!?

boardtobits 2015-08-28 16:24

Great graphics, just wish there was more to do, or even some random things to encounter on the stairs.

fantasieleben 2015-08-28 17:36

Interesting experience.

pereubu 2015-08-28 22:38

I would have called it "the eyemelter", love it

nowandstudios 2015-08-30 10:40

Nice try for a couple of hours. But, why do you supposed you are the monster?

jeasonfire 2015-08-30 10:59

Very interesting. Mouse controls were very weird, maybe the acceleration was too strong? Definitely can see @WilliamChyr's influence ;)

patvanmackelberg 2015-08-30 17:34

Neat little game - I like the use of cyan - and stairs!

saiyanator 2015-08-30 18:16

Really cool idea. Seems to be more art than game, but it's somehow cool. Only the connection to theme is a bit missing. Well done anyway!

roaringcatgames 2015-08-30 20:24

When I played this I immediately thought of Realativity. Then I saw your description about the inspiration. Nice implementation of the full wrapping/tiling 3D environment. Wish there had been a little bit of danger/challenge outside of walking.

Nice idea, too bad there is no goal. Or at least it seems so.

landosystems 2015-09-11 00:52

A very interesting experiment; reminded me a bit of Antichamber. I like the 2 color scheme, but (as I'm sure you're seeing in other comments) I wish there was some sort of element to gamify the experience.

lolshouse 2015-09-14 11:18

Though a surreal Escher-like exercise, there isn't much to this game beyond the visual splendor.
