I like it ! I wasn't sure at first if I would keep being confused, but it slowly set in. The prose was a good balance of puzzling references to things you don't know and explaining the setting. And I got one of those moments where the dialogue and music line up and you get a lil chill. Pretty awesome for such a short project, and I'd def play a longer 8bit exploration horror game about sun-madness.
I would love to see the sun on the screen somehow, at the end. Or in a longer game, like out a window or something, as a constant, silent companion. I think the suggestion of the sun worked here for a prologue. It left me ready to go back into that setting and find out what's going on/linger in that ambience more, so I think that's a success!
i love it. it’s written so much like a poem and that combined with the format of a pico8/bitsy style game is so interesting. the possibility offered by the simple backgrounds contextualizing the text and all of the really evocative text-effects makes for a really interesting and unique poetic form not available in traditional mediums and i think this story can only exist in that context.
it’s really haunting and the music is fantastic, and i love it being in first person talking to the sun. this is a really excellent, beautiful, and haunting little game!
this is an incredible sample of something i now know i definitely will want to play. the music is extremely impressive and goes great with the prose, and every screen is very well composed even in this very minimal style. really looking forward to getting to see more of this
