Well, as you say, it really isn't a game. However, you did a lot of things here which you need for games and cutscenes, so I bet it was still a very valuable experience for you in that regard :) And I absolutely loved the chain link fence and bleak apartments look. Walking past the trees looked great, too.

Just one problem, though. When it ended and displayed the title again, I had to use the task manager to close it. Nothing else I attempted did anything.

Still, it's pretty, and a little creepy, so full marks for mood ;) Nice work.

Sorry for problems you encountered, i think it's another unity problem. 5x version are so buggy so again im sorry and thanks for playing.

Great visuals, and the audio was also pretty good.

I did not understood what I was supposed to do, I just clicked on the beginning to wake up someone as not able to interact anymore. But the visual and audio are very nice!

Thats strange, after waking him up and logo u should be bringed to next scene.

Wow, I don't know what to say.

The atmosphere is great, the graphics very nice, sound is good and I really like the idea of having a game set to a poem.

But I don't get it. So we're two, I guess ;)

What went wrong? Out of time? Out of ideas?

Since you already invested all the effort to bring it this far, maybe you can continue working on it and turn it into an interactive story, where lines of dialog the player chooses have an influence on something that happened in the past and is revealed through the poem.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

I really really liked the visuals that 3d/2d mix works really well. The sound and ambience was nice too. Its a real shame its not playable... Maybe you can continue it and make a game out of this concept, good job!

Very freaky. Nice poem, not sure I understand it, but nice. Lovely graphics and sound design too

cool demo - but not a game - loved the effects - nice effort

Well, I'm in the 'its interactive art, so it's a game' camp, but regardless of what side of the argument someone falls on, I don't think anyone would say this isn't beautiful work.
Wonderful visuals and your writing was really nice.
Well done.
