The graphics and concept art is wonderful, the game is short but intense, this game deserves to have a longer story. Nice game!

The graphics and concept art is wonderful, the game is short but intense, this game deserves to have a longer story. Nice game!
Creepy. Cool art style and interesting puzzle mechanics!
It really ties into my love for dark 2D games like "The Binding of Isaac" or "Little Misfortune". Luv it.
The game is very atmospheric and stylish. Not enough hints. Long shot in different directions to find the last exit. In general, unusual and interesting
I loved the art style! This game was very moody and atmospheric, with the music and art direction really selling it. I feel like this could be developed into a full game. I liked the "figure it out yourself" kind of gameplay, and the idea of throwing your eye into another head was great and the bouncing around using the bells was pretty creative, if not a little frustrating at times. If you add some more mechanics and polish the ones you already have I would totally buy this game!
Woow, stunning game! I really liked the concept. Looking forward to more puzzles (although it took me a while to solve 1 of them). The ending is thought provoking. Adding story development, dialogues and more puzzles, it could be one of the great indie games of these years!
Really nice looking graphics
Really dope hand drawn artstyle, felt very dark in a sort of Limbo-esque kind of world. The whacky characters all over the place were very interesting, would love for some deeper lore in the story of this weird universe. Great job!
Really nice game! Loved the art style and the ambient music, very creepy. Loved the "changing heads" mechanic, very innovative!
This is the best game I've played so far. I love it. I want more. Well done!!
This was amazing, good puzzles, I really want a vey long version of this now!! Love the art style, and loved the puzzles. This needs to become a full game with a longer story
Esoteric, weird, and confusing. My favorite :). Genuinely, this game was amazing. Creepy in a not-scary-just-*aaaAAA* way, and endlessly mysterious. It feels like this game extends so far beyond the walls that I'm able to play in - like if I could only clip through a wall, I'd find a whole strange and creepy world. That being said, though, I got completely stuck on the room with the snake.
I really liked this. Everything from the art being extremely beautiful, even with the sort of messed up surreal things it portraits to the clever body-transformation mechanics and puzzles was really on point.
Only wish that there was a little more interaction or narrative with the npcs in the starting area. I would love to learn more about this strange, interesting world.
Creative, disturbing (in a good way), nice atmosphere, interesting gameplay. It is a really well-made game.
Wow. Mood and art are sooo good. And puzzle rooms are really clever. Would play a full version of this game for sure!
Wow, i dont expect this feedback. I really appreciate your comments. Ty
great creepy art and nice ambience, really like this aesthetic, liked the puzzles too, sick mechanic
I loved the art and the atmosphere. The audio was good too, simple but fit really well. the whole thing gave me Machinarium vibes.
Cool game
I have indescribable sensations
Really interesting game mechanic and the graphics and audio really set the mood. Would love to see more levels!
I really liked the look of this and cohesive story it told. It all felt super thematic.
Very atmospheric game. Probably my favourite in this Jam so far!
The graphical and thematic style is great. You've achieved very effective world-building in such a short game with no dialogue.
I kind of wish I could talk to the NPC's on the beach. But then again, them being silent makes the whole place feel even more eerie and enigmatic.
The visuals are otherwise excellent, but some environmental animation would be a nice improvement.

The "vessel"-mechanic is quite clever, but would need some adjusting.

I actually got softlocked in the final puzzle **at least five times.** On the long-term it would be best to make a complete overhaul of the mechanics to prevent this. But adding a simple *"reset room"*-function would be one temporary solution.

But yeah. On the technical side a bit rough around the edges, but stylistically it's impressive work and the world you've created really pulls you in.
I hope to see more stuff from you guys in the future!

*PS. I appreciate the fact that you provided a Linux-build and the chance to adjust resolution.*
@dis0rder I'm glad you like the game. It's a shame you got stuck there several times. There is a specific bug that depending on play style might happen really often or not at all... and the few of us that tested it were more of the not at all bunch.
Anyway, I have an idea on where the bug resides and how to tackle it. But due to time constrains I haven't been able to get into it yet.
Dig the art style, good job!
I like it.
Thanks for sharing this game with us. I will surely play this. I was searching for the https://www.grabmyessay.com/annotated-bibliography website online and when I was searching for it online, I am glad I found your post.
