Dear Esther, A Chair in a Room and maybe a little Antichamber? Nice :)
Fantastic, absolutely jaw dropping atmosphere
I surprised by it's scope, based on the available time! Really liked the visuals and audio, although the part after the piano scene was very glitchy and I couldn't progress any further
What a beautiful game... in 72h thats crazy... nice one.
@zsombro Thanks for the lovely comment! It's a shame you got stuck on the piano level, we had some bugs with various game mechanics trying to iron out the bugs before the deadline, but give it a go and see if you can reach the end if you like :D
I don't understand how the game works, so I ended up at the basketball part, with the doors that disappears... Was I supposed to open one of them ? Btw the game looks cool, but the music made the whole a little bit creepy...
@sir-galloy-de-fierpate Heya, bit confusing I know (would make it more obvious if we had more time). You gotta dunk the ball 5 times for the door to open, forgot to really add an audio queue for that :D (Left & Right click to use the ball)
Seems really cool, too bad it runs terribly :\ not sure if my pc or just some bug, low fps and super shaky cam, if I jump in the first room it goes crazy
Super laggy when I started it, but after that it was still pretty laggy. Overall nice game! I really liked how the camera motion blur looked, it really gave the mood a whole new dreamy effect.
non euclidean spaces FTW
@mindtricks Sorry about that, with more time we would definitely have put greater focus on optimization. We also used Unity's HDRP which certainly didn't help performance.
The basketball is extremely glitchy, you can even use it to soar through the sky. My biggest complaints are that it's very hard to actually pick it up, and the motion blur makes me nauseous. Otherwise, nice mood and visuals.
Really good execution and I firmly enjoy these kind of games. The music and visual style was spot on! I did have some trouble in chasing the dream and the boundry cubes dissapearing which made me question the right actions, knocking down the signs.
What a neat little experience you made! I see you didn't put audio in the ratings. Nonetheless using the right track and combining it with the right visuals requires some skill and taste. Great job my dudes.
Great atmosphere. The mood really caught me. Only the blurry visuals were too much for my girlfriend, so I couldn't make it to the end ;)
Yeah, 10 out of 10. Totally correct life simulator. No clue what is going on and what shall I do. Somehow I managed to get the end.
wow,the visuals and way stuff moves about as you look around is increcbly cool, the camera movement felt a bit odd, but overall impressive stuff
This disapearing objects mechanics when you turn the camera have totally fucked up my brain haha, I'm so sad that the final part (I guess it's the final part but I don't want to spoil) is really glitchy when I approach a door, my fps are so down :( But well done ! It was a really good experience to me :D
Stunning. Such an amazing atmosphere. But i have found a bug, i was somehow able to fish before grabbing the fishing pole, so the fish i had fished went somewhere?
Wow that's a really good game! The dreamlike atmosphere fits very well, music is great, and it's challenging to find everything! Good job!
Game is crashing right after music starts. Hm.
I got stuck on the fishing part, it doesn't seem to be working right, and the optimization was a bit lacking, but the atmosphere is fantastic, I would really love to see this improved on and released!
What a cool concept! I got stuck at fishing, but I really enjoyed the music and vibe. The disappearing mechanics are real slick.
Wow!! This looks really good!! And the music is very nice and professional sounding..really adds to the atmosphere. I really like the idea you did that matched the theme too! Overall a nice experience!
Good little game, pleasant to play.
This is the best game or experience I had ever on a Ludum Dare. BRAVO! I really loved this game the mood, the music the simple gameplay and puzzles oh wow this was good. This was really great. Well done.
We are really blown away with the response we've had so far, thank you guys very much!
@wolf4d sorry to hear the music bugged out for you and looking into it later tonight, hope that didn't stop you trying again.
@themoonrise glad to hear you've enjoyed it, hope you try get to the end again 😂.
Good atmosphere, the music combined with the graphical effects and the story provide a very good experience. Maybe the part with the monolithic structures was a bit too long (even if I understand that it serve the message here).
Very good entry ^^
I had a little bit of trouble with the camera shaking uncontrollably at first, but it went away right after the first room. That said, I love this game! The atmosphere, the music, the mystery--fantastic! I hope you consider expanding this further, because I want to play more! Great work!
Outstanding graphics and effects! It's amazing what some people can do in just 3 days.
Thank you very much guys for the kind comments! We might release a post-jam build today with a few fixes and quality of life changes to make the experience a bit less confusing on what you are supposed to do at the start.
As said above, a bit buggy, very cryptic, but totally in love with the ambience and the neat tricks like objects disappearing. I hope the new version will be even better!
You have SOMETHING here, it is NOT....NOTHING! Well done, nice atmosphere, very dreamy-like :D
Awesome atmosphere! Everything in this game adds up to this dream-like experience. Well done! I only did not like the basketball level. Had quite a bit of trouble actually picking up the ball, kept kicking it away instead.
WOW... thank you for sharing your creation
Ambitious and creative, but a bit confusing. Great job :)
Nice puzzles. Keep it up!
Wow, the graphics are really beautiful ! A real pleasure to watch ! The effects are really nice too and the sounds are perfect. This gives a really beautiful atmosphere and the game is really interesting. A real creation ! I really like this game ! Good work :D
As much as I liked the theme, sounds and atmosphere that much I diskied the piano level. It was really hard to navigate and click the right ones :< But besides that, a solind entry for sure and one of the more memorable ones.
