Love the mood! It's like an escape room in a warped reality. The player controller was a bit frustrating though. Very floaty, caused me to fall down a couple of times.

The basis for a story driven puzzle game is there. Could use some sound effects when interacting with objects for feedback. And maybe some kind of indication that an object can be interacted with (e.g. a highlighting effect).

The mouse look sensitivity is really high, which made it hard to walk around.

Thanks @gustavb and Anonymous for the feedback. Much appreciated! Since the mouse sensitivity prevented players from completing the game it has now been addressed: The default sensitivity is now more reasonable, and players can toggle between low to high sensitivity by pressing the 1-6 keys on their keyboard.

Great Game to play! Reminds me of BioShock.

Day 1: I was on the island for 12 minutes and then made it off. I found a very confused lady who spent years alone, apparently because she did not know how a shovel worked. I can dig it.

A good game, I hope you make more things like this!

Interesting idea and i really like the mood. But mouse movement is way too slow.

Love those mysterious mood. Can't believe this game is Compo.

Loved the audio and the history, Great Job!

skyeward 2021-10-05 12:28

Enjoyable game! Liked the writing, and the sparse world gives a really intentional-feeling surreal atmosphere. Nice work!

chesschaser 2021-10-05 13:34

Fun little entry! Love it!

wormius 2021-10-05 14:57

Hey matey, thanks for submitting the game to the stream, it was a good time! Here's the vod if you'd like to rewatch; https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1167974254

rafael-garcez 2021-10-05 20:46

really cool!

erlioniel 2021-10-05 21:23

Nice one, I do like the resulting mood actually. There is some problems & bugs, but for 48 hours solo? It's for sure a good one!

milestone-games 2021-10-05 21:30

@justcamh Thanks for playing! @rafael-garcez and @erlioniel thanks for the nice feedback!

dannyk1994 2021-10-05 22:39

Fun graphics and nice little story. I am glad I had you on stream to help haha Well done :v:

schuster 2021-10-06 00:57

Nice game, and you don't see too many jam games with a story, especially a narrated one!

commanderstitch 2021-10-06 04:49

Decent entry. I wanted to really meet the person that was leaving those little chunks. I was eager EAGER to get insideeeeeeee and then thank you for playing appeared. xD nice job!

n00begon 2021-10-06 05:02

A very cool mysterious game. The music and waves had a great vibe. It took a few goes to work out what number was needed for the end. I also managed to jump onto one of the floating islands which would be a cool spot for an easter egg.

rafael-garcez 2021-10-06 20:22

@milestone-games the voice over feature is really well made! Did you use any software to generate those audio files?

caudatecoder 2021-10-07 15:54

What a great game, I absolutely enjoyed it!

Good puzzle design, clever voice-acting, beautiful graphics, some nice sound effects and really great world building! :clap: :clap: :clap:

You submitted your game during my first stream (when I didn't check the chat :sweat_smile:) so I played it and recorded it during the second stream. Unfortunately I was using new software and didn’t check if everything was ok so it recorded like 2/3 of my screen :sweat: I saved recordings of games where you could still understand what’s going on. And your's is on the list. I hope it will still be helpful :sweat_smile: https://youtu.be/KdS9PsTVR1o Your game starts at 1:05

weenie-walker-games 2021-10-09 15:33

Great audio! The puzzles were simple but for this kind of game jam, that was perfect!

steve7411 2021-10-09 16:20

I get some really nice Myst vibes from this one. Really nice story and ambient music. I also like the low poly look. Overall great experience

alexthehuman2 2021-10-09 16:37

The story is the big pillar of this game, thoroughly enjoyed every part of it, I did require a bit of a hint to start with but in the end I made it. Everything blends in together well, really immersive, nothing was overpowering each other. The only thing it could be better is maybe a menu so you can go back and maybe redo the game (which you can kinda do on the browser by refreshing). But yea, overall a wonderful, slightly interactive walking simulator with a great backstory. Great job!

robindbois 2021-10-09 18:01

I want the follow up ! ;p Do you have the following of the story in your head or this was just a little plot for the LD?

Pretty good mood, And nice for your first 3D game, GG!

milestone-games 2021-10-09 18:05

@dannyk1994, @schuster, @commanderstitch, @n00begon, @rafael-garcez: Thanks for the kind words.

@caudatecoder Great stream, much appreciated!

@weenie-walker-games, @schuster @alexthehuman2 thank you for playing!

@robindbois Much appreciated - yes, this was a plot I came up with for Ludum Dare 49!

mascoll 2021-10-11 08:21

Beautiful graphics and ambiance! Engaging plot intersperced with not too dificult puzzles led to an ending that left the player wanting more. Amazing entry! Great work!
