neet game definitely unfinished like you said in the description but I like the vibes. I would recommend turning down the motion blur it is very disorientating.

Wow great aesthetics

I tried a lot but couldn't find the right way...Looking forward to the finished game!

@realwangziyang I made the first steps clearer.

@abslute-garbage Thank you!

@yoruvii I removed Motion Blur altogether.

I love this voiceover. This pretty good graphic!

An interesting concept of the game. But it weighs a lot and is not particularly optimized. The location is also quite dark and confusing. But it looks visually good. The atmosphere in this game is present. Good job

@kirass @fenix131113 @gruzdid Thank you.

How far did you get? Because the game is much more than just the cave. And the other parts are more interesting.

@lestat We can't get out of cave(

@fenix131113

Did you burn the logs to get to thye first demon? Use the orb on it to break the green wall and then burn the wooden door?

I will add a mini walkthrough so more people can experience the whole thing.

@lestat I've done everything except the door

Looks good but it's too dark to navigate well. In the beggining there is a place where you can get out of the map and fall off of the world. Nice narrating.

@gulcar Thank you!

Good mood!

I got to the dead end in the outside area, I used my torch everywhere and refrained from using orb because it extinguishes fires... but from my limited experience it's a really fun little puzzle game with nice aesthetics, and also turns my PC into a jet engine (thanks Unreal engine), overall a really nice entry

@stmate03 You need to use the orb to see what firepits you must keep on and which ones must be off. They are shown in red for a second after using it.

If they are in correct state. It will open the wall/door.

And thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the game.

@hurp @cope Thank you!

This is a very unique game! I love how interesting it is! I didn't manage to finish it but I did enjoy playing it! Quality job :)

Please can you rate my game? :)

It is nice to see another narrative game in LD55. I really liked the enigmatic atmosphere of the game! And also I know what you mean when you explain your initial aim to make it "much more elaborated and emotive". I've been here too with a similar aim to create a narration, yet it is jam with limited time. Great job!

@krummsakura Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.

Happy to see another dev focused on the narrative.
