Interesting setup, but I got quite confused trying to understand how to differentiate the 'right' and 'wrong' options. The art and sound works well!

@jedaMac Thank you! Yeah it can be hard, might be different i didnt really mix it out through different devices.
Nice, i still haven't found the solution but the puzzle is exciting
Great game idea! Both the art style and music are amazing. I still didn't know how to choose all the correct answers. My only two complaints are: 1. As I am not a native English speaker, it was sometimes hard to read the freehand drawing text, but I managed. 2. The game does not close after pressing Escape. Alt + F4 was needed :)
Wow! What a unique game! Really nice presentation and an intriguing setup. It really captured the experience of delving deep into someone's mind.
Some of the text was a bit hard to read because it got clipped by the screen and I wish there were a few more clues about the correct choice, but maybe there were clues and I just missed them.
Nice work!
@almgru what an amazimg feedback! Yeah I might have made it a little to hard!
@zimny11 totally forgot about that.. i even one more day, just so excited for first jam :)
Great game, really nice atmosphere and concept. I was a little confused about the setup, took some time to get what was going on.
love the artstyle and sounds and the overall vibe of this, super pretty and something different here for sure
Cool game! I have no idea what I'm doing, but in regards to style it looks and sounds awesome.
@hotpaw Is audio necessary in order to solve the puzzles? I am deaf in one ear, that's why I'm asking lol
I did my best to listen for audio clues for to find some hint but I couldn't differentiate between correct and incorrect so I couldn't figure out how to narrow down how close I was getting to the correct path. Pretty visuals, interesting idea and really nice ambiance but I would have liked a little more direction
I love the creativity shown here. Interesting slightly spooky mood. The way to uncover the text was neat.
Definitely interesting and artful design went into this one. I couldn't really figure out what I was supposed to be doing though. All of the little hints didn't really seem to indicate a connection, just a general broad incident where someone was killed? I listened for audio cues but couldn't pick up anything there either. Loved the style, visuals, and effects though!
@hestrateja no it is not 100%!
Nice Game
@lakshyaisagod wow haha thats good feedback! Thanks!
Very beautiful game. I like this graphics.
@dudelesha thank you!
The visuals, musics and atmosphere is really good. I am not sure I totally understand the gameplay, but I still had fun reading some text.
@jk5000 thank you!
You are supposed to pick 6 correct answers in a row, if you fail, just restart, listen through everything and read, and notice the differences.
[SPOILERS] The true choices all have something in common. Its a small difference but it's noticeable with some work.
Veryyy nice game nice asthetics i think this should be in top 10.
@storm-rider what a nice thing to say!
I am going to start by saying that I had no idea how to get the right answers the entire time... yet I was totally engaged and enjoyed it. Despite not knowing the objective, I felt compelled to continue and try to figure it out. I think this can be attributed to the great atmosphere, UX, and premise. Solid work, though I would have like a bit more guidance so I could understand more of what I was looking for.
@phthalogold thanks for feedback! I had this alot and I might have made it a little to hard deliberatly!
Very pleasant experience. I like the gameplay idea, although I struggled with finding the right answers. (But I suppose that is the game). The combination of sound and color/graphics make this a solid entry. Good job.
@attala thank you alot!
Wow, great entry! Art style is really nice, and sound and music are very cool too. I couldn't manage to get the correct answers, even though I read the clues and previous comments. I just cannot see any connection between them. I guess I'm a bad mind hunter. I would love to see the ending. Very solid entry, congrats!
P.D: Why isn't this a compo entry?
@azgaya ! Thank you! It's quite intriguing that no one have made it so far! :D If anyone does post a screen shot please! :D
Loved the concept & art design! Good job bruh
@cdkml thank you alot!
First of all, welcome to the game jam party :sunglasses: I hope you had an amazing weekend. The first game jam can be a little intimidating but you can be very proud of yourself and the game you made. I love the look of the game and I think there is a little BlackThornProd inspiration in there :smirk: I hope you will continue your game jam journey and would love to see more from you :two_hearts:
@fictions Thank you alot! The fun thing is i always done my art like this, and then i found Blackthorn Prod just a year ago and ofc fell in love with his art! Ofc i am inspired by him! but this is actually me, but it might be some inspiration blending in! Its a really nice compliment to compare me with Blackthorn!
@hotpaw You're welcome :smiley: Can't wait to see more of your art style in the future, there's something about your and BTPs art, that ist just so... intriguing! :sparkles:
@fictions yeah, i made some prototypes but actually tried different styles, i should try something like this more in the future, it was really fun and enjoyable to be abstract again!
Well done for making a very pretty and intriguing game! I'm glad I came across it. I suppose like trying to actually understand the mind of a murderer, it's difficult. I spent a couple of minutes trying combinations and listening for audio cue differences. Like all puzzles, sometimes it just clicks, sometimes it doesn't. Perhaps it's the best use of the theme because not only is it original but also too deep? :wink:
@sevkron Thank you! Can you believe that the draft was a person forgetting where he put his remote, and went back in his memory to find where he put it? And then i changed last minute because i didnt want to paint so many scenes :D
@hotpaw **"Just game dev things"**, it sounds like you had a fun time creating the game!
@sevkron it was very fun! It took me to some wierd places. Trying to think like some... mind delving detective and a resisting serial killer? Mad person? Who is guilty.
The psychological part though. Its you the player who makes the choices, so who are you really?
not bad really, i like this
Really cool visuals and plot/story. It was unclear to me if I had won or lost at the final button. I would have liked more feedback on my progress, since losing means you have to reexamine every single level even if only one was wrong. Great work.
Love the artstyle.
I dig the music, but the game is too deep for me :)
I had no idea what I was doing. I wanted to like this a lot more because it's a cool concept, but there needed to be a tutorial or more instruction. I didn't even know what I was looking for. Was the music? It changed, but I couldn't tell if what I was doing changed it.
@azagaya i could have done that but its my first one so wanted to do the jam instead , felt less pressure.
@harrison-dunn i know i got a lot of feedback about that and will take it with me!
Very cool! Love the sound and atmosphere. I didn't solve the puzzle, but the theme and *feel* of the game are great!
@saintchristopher777 thank you alot!
too hard and i still dont understand how I did it but a nice game!
Wow, a really nice and unique interpretation of jam topic. Really liked the art and music, atmosphere is amazing
@tyaka thanks alot! @kuviman thanks for streaming it!
I loved the style and the use of sprite masks! The art was good, but everything seemed a little too saturated. But overall it was pretty clean. good job!
It is just hard for me to read the text and i think it drags all the fun out of it... maby not a game for me.
@mero sorry to hear that ;/
but i love the mood and sounds ! :)
That was deep... I couldn't find the answer but to mood was incredible! Good job!
it is hard to read the text, but both graphics and sound are amazing!
@flaquero thank you for playing and för feedback!
Nice visuals and sounds, but I was not able to get the right answers. Anyway amazing game with awesome mood
art & atmosphere is real good
@hotpaw Nice game. Though a bit confusing at the start. It took some time to settle my eyes. But sound effects and visuals are very atmospheric.
This is super cool! Love the art style! The gameplay is fun too! Great job!
@appix @omg-blackbeard @seng-yong @smeljey
Thank you all for the feedback! I been quite busy! I will try all your games, feedback means alot!
Very cool idea ! The art is amazing, good job !
@nyanpierre thx alot!
wonderful game. I think the masked objects could be little darker.
@xiyou thank you! Ill take that feedback
I saw this game and immediately wanted to play it. Love puzzles and mysteries! The visuals are also very beautiful and the sounds, while I enjoyed them, I don't think they are fitting the mood of the game much. But that's the only thing I would change. I'm just a little sad because I couldn't find the right answer to the puzzle. Please tell me what it is hahahah
Wow that's so interesting ! I haven't found the solution yet, I'll come back when I have time to finish it ! The concept is quite new, and the graphics work really well with the sound to convey the ambiance. That's amazing job !
@villanelle , @jrevel Thanks for the feedback! I can't tell you how it's solved! :D i might release a rework that is a little easier.
