This looks utterly gorgeous, and I love immersive and atmospheric games, so I'd just love to play this, but.. I got a ''lastinstantsoflight' quit unexpectedly' pop-up. I'm using Mac OSX.

I don't understand exactly what to do, and I die before I can do much. Some sort of a tutorial would help a lot. I absolutely adore the graphics and mood though! Really beautiful.
the graphics and the mood are soooooooo good! The game is pretty hardcore tho, or maybe I missed something?
It's a beautiful and atmospheric game, but despite dying and retrying up to 10 times I still have no idea what to do in the game. I can make some kind of ping (which seems to have no effect other than draining a large amount of my energy). I regenerate my energy at the point in the beginning, but after that I cannot find anywhere to regenerate energy, so I just die after walking as far as I can. There're some lights floating around which also seems to have no effect (my ping doesn't affect them either). I did find one object which seemed to react to my ping, but it didn't seem to do anything other than light up.
Just a short explanation of what to do in the game would have been great, because it's really hard to understand as it is now, and the main problem is that you die before you have any chance to try to find out what to do :(
As everyone else I really REALLY liked the graphics, sound, music and general atmosphere though, and I have a feeling that was your main goal. Definitely a great job on that :)
The Artstyle is just wow. It looks amazing and the sound is beautifull. But I think you run out of Energy way too fast or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. But whatever, all in all this is amazing.
You set out to make a dark and moody game, and you utterly smashed it: the visuals are fantastic, and there's such a great atmosphere. I like that you allow the player to explore without holding their hand - but I did end up getting stuck - I managed to light the second bonfire and found a third off to the left, but I couldn't figure out how to reach and activate the crystals without losing all my power. I think the fact that I kept on trying says a lot, though (I'm still trying to do it now)!
Great work - maybe, if people keep getting confused, you could add an optional walk-through of sorts? It's a real shame that people aren't seeing all the effort you've put into this - I know I'd love to move further on!
Thank you very much for your feedbacks ! I really enjoyed making this game/experience, i'm glad you liked the atmosphere.
>> If you are stuck, i just added a hint section in the description.
The game was supposed to be played with a controller, wich allow you to do diagonals, and much shorter path between the fires. I've just upated with diagonals in the keyboard controls, I think the game was much harder with the keyboard because of that...
Good looks, but seems too hard to play =(
