Really interesting game!
I like this type of games. Pretty nice story, but it would be more interesting if there will be more story lines or endings to extend replayability. Anyway, good game.
Very original graphics. The music succeeds very well at setting the mood. Really great game, well done!
Excellent minimalistic style. It really set the mood of the story (along with the music). I really really really would have liked to see more endings (or maybe I missed them? I played through a few times). And this one also hit me in the feels: I have a 15 month-old daughter, so I definitely related to the "father being proud and supportive" perspective. And I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little jealous, I hope I can make games with my daughter when she gets older too! Excellent game!
Why can't I rate the audio, It was really good :/
Very good story. :)
Amazing job setting a mood. I like the videos and the use of theme a lot, too.
Simple but haunting. The looping black and white images along with the music was quite effective for setting the mood, and the story was mysterious but a page turner (a gamestate tapper?).
This is pretty dang great. Excellent job!
Really loved the mood! Interesting story, too. One nitpick is I wish the buttons were more obvious, thought the first 3 choices were a poem lol.
Really well made and innovative. I thought this was one of the most unique game's I've played this LD.
Interesting idea. Videos are rare at Ludum Dare.
I have to say it feels counter-intuitive that the menu is above the main text, I even missed a couple of paragraphs because of that.
Very involving story, but I think lacks the gaming factor. I'm don't have any control. But between the music and the story, and how is telled there's something very interesting here that may become to a really nice game. Thanks!
Like many other interactive stories, you allow to real play a "monster" deeply.
I'm impress by the use of the video, because they create a real mood and not a cheap realism.
Actually i think the end is maybe too explicit, and the game would have been better by speaking at the first person and not narrator. Also maybe allowing a bigger impression of control before the "end". Also i think that the font is maybe hard to read, and break the game feel.
You could take a look at "Monster" who is also an interactive story in the same kind of "story"
This feeling of playing a ghost is really powerful.
Nice entry, and really a different kind of interactive fiction.
Very unique idea! The mood was set well by the black and white colours and the looping video, very chilling! Nice one!
Your use of video processing is an innovative touch in supporting the mood. Great work!
Oh God, I need to play something happy now. Too scary. Truly made me feel like a monster.
(nice use of the theme, and loved the filtered videos.)
A moody and entertaining game!
Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.
Fantastic art!
To me though it makes or breaks if there's a way out, and I didn't find it! It would take grinding and I'm not up to it.
Interesting!
It's awesome. All five (but fun). The mood is just killed me and make reborn again.
Interesting. The text was hard to read when the game was full screen, so I had to shrink the browser size down, but otherwise it looks great.
Now that an surspring entry and on its own way very fitting to the theme. Music and audio are really fitting to your game...or let´s call it novel instead of game. Very goog entry! But i dont understand understand why you disabled audio rating?
The mood is very deep and the music fits perfectly with the thriller atmosphere. The concept is quite differente compared to the others entries that I have played on this LD and it's nicely done. Good work ;)
This was a very cool game, loved the video capture! The game also had a very interesting tale wrapped into it is well. You could say that I'm 'so proud' of what you accomplished. Hehe, game puns.
This story, and music *_*. I loved it, great job !
