Before downloading the game, I have to wait Google Drive to zip the files and folders. You should have zipped for us to download, which reduces the time for others to review.

There are few problems I've found after played for a while. First, the green mushrooms are so scarce, and I don't know how to trace them within the game. Second, the green mushrooms don't seem to reduce my insanity noticeably. Adding audio/visual feedback and increasing the numerical difference should make a difference. Finally, I don't know why there are blue mushroom in the game, you should've created them without a purpose or else it'll confuse your players.

I agree with the other people, link the games in .rar files and put them maybe on gamejolt or itch.io, feels more comfortable for us. As for the game, nice idea, there are confusions with the different types of mushrooms, but I think you guys did good for the time constraints.

First of all exit button didnt work.

I started to play. First thought, amnessia clone? Ok then im going around. See fire in front of me. Then text "press e to use" appears. Then something red follows my arm. "Probably its the thing i picked up". And my surprice was enormous when i realised that mushrooms ate me :O

Ty for the game. Was nice.

I didn't really understood the relation with the theme? How are we running out of space?

Good graphics!

The main menu was beautiful, overall great job on graphics, though I felt the forest was a bit too dark, you could maybe have added some more ambient light sources around the forest to add to the mood, and maybe some image effects(like bloom). Graphics combined with the sound effects also created a very nice mood for this game.

The gameplay, to be honest, was a bit boring for me. Without a map or any waypoints to follow I ended up just walking in random directions hoping I'd eventually bump into the goal. I wish reducing insanity was based on some problem solving or something skill-based, it currently feels entirely luck-based. It's also annoying not having any tools or abilities to take care of the red mushrooms chasing you.

Overall this was a cool and ambitious game idea, good job!

The art of the game is probablly the best that I saw in this jam, but the gameflow is not clear, you have a objective "Go to a house", but this house doesn't appear, ive been like 20 minutes running through the forest collecting mushrooms and I didn't saw it, I think that giving more information or putting clues on the scenario will really help. But its still a nice work. Keep on it!!

Not much to rate the audio on, but gameplay is decent. When I reached the other house, I wasn't sure I actually won because it ended up telling me I went insane. There was some immersion issues when I reached the end of the map, but that's ok.

The idea and the graphics are great ! I didn't hear the audio.. But the mood is great too and the story is interesting. But I don't really succeed to understand how to win the game and where I need to go (I felt in insanity all the time). But this insanity represents the theme, right ? (It looks like my game ! Check it if you want !). In overall, it's good ! Good job !
