I like this atmosphere, a bonfire in a dark forest its cool

Not much of a game here, a very short walking sim? The sprites are nice and the lighting is cool, I just wish there was something to do!

Very fun game, interesting and very moody

Big fan of the atmosphere. I also love the way your character turns like paper Mario. I couldn't figure out the first puzzle, but I did manage to flick a lever. Might try again if the comments develop into a guide which could be cool.

I like the lighting, but I'm not sure what to do with 3rd gate and what for am I playing piano

It's a nice game, but the third puzzle is kinda too hard compared to others. I got stuck on it unfortunately. Also interactable objects should have been more visible.

Cool atmosphere! I like how the character flips around, but I wish it would stay facing left even after I stop moving left. I wish there was more stuff to do!

@evil-villain-games @gargantus @teshimoto Well, I'll probably leave a short guide here.

yeah, we should think about hints, or at least about more visible interactable objects

Be careful, spoilers below!

In the first puzzle, you must find the lever that is used to open the door

In second puzzle you should pickup torch, ignite it by bonfire and use it for destroying grass that blocking interaction with lever. After that use lever and go to the next puzzle.

Third puzzle are the hardest one. You should use piano for playing right combination. Hint for that combination you can find in objects near bonfire. Third hint are specific, you have to use not the direction of the pointer, but the direction of its shadow.

In fourth puzzle you should take and place three rocks on the pressure plates

And in the last one you need to pickup bucket, fill the bucket with water, and put out the fire.

Thats all! GLHF!

The atmosphere was great, I really felt like I was stuck inside of the oppressive, deep and dark forest. The puzzles were interesting, but controls seemed a little inconsistent, and it was hard to figure out what was what. I really enjoyed the experience though, and I think it could turn into something really cool.

(spoilers) hi! unfortunately i had to give up on the piano puzzle, i found 4 out of five notes directions (and one in the ground, but it didnt seem to have a number attached to it?) but i thought the game was pretty interesting in genereal. i liked the visuals, and the audio design is great too. one thing that felt a bit weird though was that you lit the torch with Q and interacted with stuff with E? i kinda had to guess and mash buttons til i found the right key to use. but i liked the game. and i would like to be in hot tub.

For some reason this game felt really moody, I like it!

elllelel 2021-05-05 20:26

I like especially the mood and puzzle but its overall great game! Good work!

Great mood. I really like the fires. Having several different buttons for interacting with things made things more confusing. I could see what I had to but not how to do it. Perhaps onscreen prompts for buttons would have helped. I also saw a much brighter green bar at the bottom at one point, I guess the edge of the level. It was a bit jarring as the rest of the game is so dark and moody.

I had trouble running it on my end but I really like the concept!
