I really liked the idea, music and graphics. But I found it a bit punishing with all those spikes and my poor memory =)

I would absolutely love to see this idea getting developed even further! The controls are kinda whacky, and leaving the drone and drawing again is sorta tedious, but besides that it is incredible, and really original! I would love to see what can be made with some more concepts (and maybe original art? haha)
I loved the graphics on this and I had lots of fun but the controls aren't that good but I loved it besides that
Love the clean art style
If I see I can draw in a game, I do. Don't judge me.

I love the atmosphere of this game. I really do! Even with the mapping and the drones, I can't help but feel a lot of tension from the invisible traps and the ceiling going down. I don't consider myself claustrophobic, but this game certainly gives that bit of anxiety, making up for a very interesting thrill.
Having a squad of drones was genius and a delight! I'd say that this game had a lot going for it on the design department. I would like to hear about what motivated you all to go for hand drawn mapping. I've rarely seen this in games and yet it's so good.
I'm glad that you could make such an experience! 🐳
Very punishing but a beautiful looking and sounding game. Never seen a concept quite like it before either
The atmosphere is so freaking good, the map mechanic is so creative and the sounds like the ceiling going down really puts me inside the game feeling like i'm exploring this place!
It's interesting idea, I really like it when you can draw something in games, but I got lost in the maze too many times((( Good Work!
Great idea with drone exploration and hand mapping. I was not quite able to figure out whether you can land the drone at some point to make it stop using energy. I believe I did find four idols and activated them but not sure if I missed any. Was not able to find the stairs though. The atmosphere is great and the visuals, lowering ceiling create a good mood. This game reminded me how I can get a bit claustrophobic in narrow places, especially when it is dark. Keep up good work!

@pelicanpolice This is indeed not supposed to happen and we haven't seen it before. Does restarting the game help?
It looks like there is no punishment for activating spikes besides temporary speed reduction? I don't get why should I use a drone when I can just walk through the maze.
This was a really interesting take on the theme, and the atmosphere was on point. It woulda been cool to have some obstacles while in the drone view though, it was a little boring to just float around.
Super cool idea, and nice aesthetic. Had a Witness feel. I love the idea of a slow, thoughtful exploration of a pyramid, and the idea of drawing and using your own map. It did require quite a bit of patience-- I wish that you didn't have to pick up the pencil every time. Extra points for doing something unusual.
Wow! It's amazing! I wish to see it in Steam.
What a cool idea! I would absolutely love to play a more fleshed out version of this - I could even see this as a VR game, or some sort of co-op game, where one player controls the drone and the other walks through the maze. Great entry!
The blue and orange worked so nicely together and the intro camera movement was so smooth and worked great. Did notice the intro text was a bit quick in disappearing as I didn't get to read it all before it moved on. Liked the game idea of having to map the pyramid and having the drone to fly around to help you, thought that was interesting and made the mapping a fun experience. Also was great when you found yourself and were able to map from your location.
